The centre-forward is a product of their youth academy, where he had already worked with coach Cristian Chivu.

Following an impressive loan spell at Spezia in Serie B, it was decided to keep him as one of the four strikers with the senior squad, and he flourished.

Pio Esposito a treasure for Inter

He has attracted plenty of interest from clubs abroad, including Newcastle United and Arsenal, but the 20-year-old is in absolutely no rush to leave.

“Pio is happy at Inter, I think what both the player and the club want is to stay together for the next 10 years,” agent Mario Giuffredi told reporters at the Inside the Sport 2026 event at Coverciano.

“Thinking about the transfer market for Pio Esposito, unless it is the club that wants it, is not something that I or the player are planning to do.

“For us, Pio’s transfer market has not started and never will start, because there will be no transfer market for him. He is happy to remain with the Nerazzurri.”

Esposito scored nine goals and provided six assists in 43 competitive games, winning him a place in the Italy squad, where he found the net three times in seven caps.

“I think we have gone beyond all expectations for him this season,” concluded Giuffredi.

There had been reports back in October that Inter were prepared to reject offers worth €50m for the centre-forward, promising to lock him down to a new and improved contract.

His most recent agreement was signed in April 2025, and runs to June 2030.
