Inter Milan Striker To Sign Five-Year Deal With Cagliari As Player Pushes For Deal | OneFootball

Inter Milan striker Sebastiano Esposito is set to sign a five-year deal with Cagliari.

Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, report that the player pushed for the move. Cagliari will pay a fee of €4 million, plus 30-40% of future resale.

The past few days have seen a real tug-of-war emerge regarding Inter striker Sebastiano Esposito.

It has always seemed clear that the Italy Under-21 international would leave Inter for good this summer.

Esposito has gone out on a string of loan moves. Last season he was on loan at Empoli.

But this summer, Inter are keen to sell Esposito outright once and for all.

A few clubs in Serie A have shown an interest in Esposito’s signature. Fiorentina have been sounding out a deal for the 23-year-old for a number of weeks.

However, two clubs have been pushing to sign Esposito in the last few days.

Cagliari have been in talks with Inter this week. They’re pushing to finally wrap up a deal for Esposito.

However, earlier this week Parma reportedly also looked to hijack the Rossoblu’s deal, which had hit a couple snags.

Yesterday, though, Cagliari further raised their offer to Inter. The Sardinians are offering the Nerazzurri the €4 million they want now, plus a 30-40% sell-on fee.

And the decisive factor, according to the Corriere dello Sport, has been the preference of the player himself.

Esposito has made up his mind to join the Rossoblu.

Therefore, reports the Corriere, the 23-year-old striker will sign a five-year contract with Cagliari until the end of June 2030.
