Cagliari had hoped to sign Sebastiano Esposito on a season-long loan with an option to buy.

However, Inter prefer an outright transfer, which favors Parma.

Indeed, the Crusaders have struck an agreement with the Nerazzurri on the basis of €4 million.

Furthermore, they’ve agreed to include a substantial percentage of any future resale as part of the deal.

As such, Esposito could soon pen a multi-year contract at Stadio Ennio Tardini.
