Fiorentina are ready to make a a loan offer with a purchase option of more than €30 million for Inter Milan’s Francesco Pio Esposito.
This according to today’s print edition of Florence-based newspaper La Nazione, via FCInterNews.
Francesco Pio Esposito currently finds himself at a crossroads at Inter Milan.
The teenage striker spent last season on loan with Spezia in Serie B. It was an outstanding campaign, in which he scored a total of nineteen goals for the Ligurian clubs.
Now, Pio Esposito is back with the Inter squad. He travelled to the United States for the Club World Cup.

But Inter and Pio Esposito will have to find a new destination for the young striker – likely within Serie A – before the start of next season.
Fiorentina Ready To Make Offer For Francesco Pio Esposito
According to La Nazionale, Fiorentina are eyeing up a move for Pio Esposito.
The newspaper report that La Viola see the 19-year-old as a possible replacement for Moise Kean in the event that he leaves this summer.
Fiorentina are already wrapping up a deal for former Inter, Roma, and Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko. He will certainly provide plenty of experience.
But at the other end of the spectrum, Francesco Pio Esposito would offer a profile with a lot of room for growth.
According to La Nazionale, Fiorentina are ready to make an offer of a loan deal to Inter.
However, the newspaper adds, this would include a purchase option. The fee on said option would be at least €30 million.
$30 million loan, two year loan. option to buy for another $20 million after two loan is up or $30 million if wanting to buy after one year.
Inter has one year buy back clause for $25 million after player is brought by other club.
player must play 70% of all games he is fit for.
i don’t get why they are signing that POS from Parma and not keeping this guy instead?
The lesson here is that if clubs want to pay €30 million for one of your teenagers, you keep him and use him!!! Especially when he plays in a position that desperately needs strengthening!!
Yeah, that’s the irony. The fact that so many clubs want him is why Inter should keep him.
He is ready to play as a rotation option until he gains experience and becomes a starter. He can easily play as a goal poacher; the money instead should be used to replace Asllani with a better midfielder.
Knowing the club they’ll rather sell and buy someone else but hopefully that doesn’t become true.
agreed. use him as lautaro was used in the first few years with us.
