Inter Milan striker Sebastiano Esposito is one step away from joining Empoli on loan.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
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.
Empoli have been in talks to sign Esposito on loan for a few weeks now. Along with Lorenzo Colombo, he is one of the main attacking reinforcements they’ve identified.
Reportedly, Esposito had briefly stalled on the move as he was also considering a return to Sampdoria.
But according to the Gazzetta, now everything is ready to go ahead. Esposito will play for Sampdoria next season.
