Report – Inter Milan Make Huge Decision On Young Striker’s Future Amid Wild Transfer Speculation | OneFootball

Francesco Pio Esposito has earned the trust of new Inter Milan boss Cristian Chivu and will stay at San Siro next season.

Per Sport Mediaset via FCInterNews, the 19-year-old striker will be part of the Nerazzurri squad for the 2025/26 season.

Despite intense speculation linking him with numerous Serie A clubs, Francesco Pio Esposito will stay at Inter.

Furthermore, Inter’s decision to keep the youngster probably means Mehdi Taremi will soon pack his bags.

Esposito enjoyed a remarkable breakout season at Spezia last term.

Indeed, he netted 19 goals in Serie B, helping the Aquilotti secure a place in the promotion playoffs.

However, Spezia’s loss to Cremonese in the semi-finals spelled the end of Esposito’s adventure at Stadio Alberto Picco.

Although many expected the teenage sensation to leave Inter for regular first-team action, Chivu has other plans.

Instead of departing for another loan, Esposito will fight for his place at San Siro after impressing the ex-Parma coach.

He scored in his first start for Inter last night as Chivu’s side dispatched River Plate 2-0 at the FIFA Club World Cup.
