Inter Milan and Empoli are ironing out the final details on the transfer of striker Sebastiano Esposito.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. The broadcaster report that Empoli’s Sporting Director is at Inter’s headquarters today.

Young Inter striker Esposito spent last season on loan with Sampdoria in Serie B.

This was the sixth loan spell that the young striker has gone out on over the past few seasons.

Esposito had also had spells with the likes of SPAL, Venezia, and Bari in the Italian second division.

Meanwhile, the Inter striker had also spent the 2021-22 season on loan with Basel in the Swiss Super League.

And during the 2022-23 campaign, Esposito had been out on loan in Belgium. He spent the first half of that season playing for Anderlecht.

Esposito’s next club will be in the top flight.

It is Empoli who are set to win the race to sign the 22-year-old, despite some interest from other clubs in both Serie A and Serie B including Cagliari.

Esposito has played in Serie A before, for the Inter first team. However, he has only made cameo appearances for the club, during the 2019-20 season under Antonio Conte.

But now, it looks as though the young Nerazzurri striker will make the move to a team where he could feature regularly in the top flight.

Empoli are looking to strengthen after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.

The Tuscans kept themselves in Serie A with a dramatic late win over Roma on the final day of the campaign.

And Esposito is an attacking reinforcement that Empoli have identified for incoming coach Roberto D’Aversa.

The negotiations between Inter and Empoli for the striker have been moving quickly in the last few days.

Sky report that Empoli Sporting Director Roberto Gemmi was at Inter headquarters today. Scout Armando Perna accompanied him.

And the purpose of the executives’ visit, reports Sky, was to work out the final details on Esposito’s transfer to the Tuscan club.
