Inter Milan move to secure Pio Esposito’s future as top clubs circle

Pio Esposito has become a cornerstone of Inter Milan's long-term project — and the club is ready to fend off major European interest

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via Fcinter1908, Inter Milan have decided to lock down their man of the moment — Pio Esposito. 

The young forward, now seen as one of the brightest prospects in Italy, has rapidly become a key figure for the Nerazzurri’s future plans.

The report reveals that several top European clubs have shown strong interest in the 19-year-old, impressed by his growing performances and untapped potential. However, Inter Milan have made their stance clear: Esposito is not for sale.

Unquantifiable talent and skyrocketing value

As the Gazzetta notes, putting a fixed valuation on Esposito is nearly impossible at this stage — his development is accelerating week by week. 

For reference, Inter Milan rejected bids worth around €50 million (£42.5M) over the summer, refusing even to entertain a swap deal involving Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.

That decision underscores how highly the club rates their academy product, who has seamlessly transitioned into the senior setup and continues to impress Cristian Chivu’s staff with his attitude and maturity.

Inter Milan’s long-term vision: building around youth

In an era where Europe’s elite constantly pursue emerging attacking talents, Inter Milan’s plan is different. 

Rather than cashing in, the club intends to build around Esposito, making him a symbol of their next generation.

“If he was untouchable in August, he’s even more untouchable now,” wrote La Gazzetta dello Sport — a clear message to anyone hoping to lure him away from San Siro.

With his combination of strength, intelligence, and relentless work rate, Pio Esposito embodies the values Inter Milan want to project for the future — talent developed, not just bought.
