Torino want to sign Inter Milan striker Francesco Pio Esposito on loan.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They also report that Genoa, Cagliari, Bologna, and Parma are keen to sign the 19-year-old.
It is no secret that striker Francesco Pio Esposito could be a big name on the transfer market this summer.
The teenage striker has just finished an outstanding season on loan with Spezia.
Pio Esposito has returned to Inter Milan. He is part of the Nerazzurri’s squad for the Club World Cup.
Torino Want Francesco Pio Esposito On Loan
As Tuttosport note, new Inter coach Cristian Chivu will have the opportunity to evaluate Pio Esposito at the Club World Cup.
The 19-year-old is currently out with a knee problem. However, once he’s back Chivu can get a good look at him both in training and out on the pitch.
And it’s not entirely impossible that the Romanian could decide to keep Pio Esposito in the squad for next season.
However, should Pio Esposito leave on loan, there would be no shortage of suitors.
Serie A clubs Genoa, Cagliari, Bologna, and Parma all want Pio Esposito on loan, reports Tuttosport.
Meanwhile, Torino have also met with the teenage striker’s agent. The Granata would be very interested in signing him on loan.
keep him as a 3rd striker, we don’t have many options, I’d rather buy one more striker who has something different and isnt a centre forward only, we need pace and dribbling ablility everywhere rather than 2 forwards. The main thing we need to do this window is to buy first and sell later, I don’t understand why we do things backwards as by then we lose the best players. We need young legs in midfield and cbs with pace as well so we can compete on all fronts.
