Francesco Pio Esposito has been making waves for both Inter Milan and the Italian national team. The Nerazzurri now consider the young striker an indispensable asset and are taking steps to secure his long-term future at the club.
Inter`s Strategy to Keep Esposito
Esposito, 20, has quickly progressed from a Serie B loanee to a valuable member of Inter`s first-team squad this season. After impressing at Spezia last year with 17 league goals, he has seamlessly transitioned to Serie A, providing reliable backup for Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.
The young forward scored his first top-flight goal for Inter in September and recently netted his debut goal for Italy`s national team. His rapid development has not gone unnoticed, with Inter now viewing him as “unsellable” according to Italian media reports.
Inter demonstrated their faith in Esposito earlier this year by extending his contract until 2030, increasing his annual salary from €300,000 to around €1 million. Sources suggest the club may offer him another improved deal before the season ends, potentially doubling his wages to €2-2.5 million per year.
While Inter have no intention of selling their prized asset, some estimates place Esposito`s current market value at close to €50 million. The club`s proactive approach aims to ward off potential suitors and ensure Esposito remains a key part of Inter`s future plans.
