Cagliari Hoping To Seal Deal For Inter Milan Striker Today – Structure Still To Be Worked Out | OneFootball

Cagliari are hoping to seal a deal to sign Inter Milan striker Sebastiano Esposito today.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInter1908. They report that the structure of a deal is still to be worked out.

It has always looked clear that Sebastiano Esposito will leave Inter Milan this summer.

The Italian youth team international has gone out on a number of loan spells. He has played for the likes SPAL, Venezia, Basel, Anderlecht, Bari, and Sampdoria.

Last season, Esposito was out on loan with Empoli. While his individual form was strong, this was not enough to prevent the Tuscans from suffering relegation to Serie B.

Therefore, Empoli did not sign Esposito on a permanent basis.

The 23-year-old returned to Inter, with whom he travelled to the United States for the Club World Cup.

Esposito even started a couple matches for the Nerazzurri at that tournament. However, that hardly changed his fate – he is not a part of Inter’s plans.

There have been a couple of clubs to show an interest in signing Esposito this summer.

One of these is Fiorentina. La Viola have reportedly spent the last few weeks eyeing up a deal for the 23-year-old.

However, Cagliari are the team who look to have made the decisive move.

The Rossoblu have been active in talks with Inter over the past couple days.

And the Corriere dello Sport report that today is the day that Cagliari hope to wrap the deal up.

The newspaper note, however, that the clubs are still negotiating the structure of a deal.

Inter want to sell Esposito once and for all. They have been aiming for a fee of €8-10 million.

On the other hand, Cagliari want to sign Esposito on loan with a purchase obligation. This would require that Esposito first extend his contract with Inter.
