Inter Milan’s rising star, Francesco Pio Esposito, has established himself as one of the hottest young talents in Europe, let alone Serie A.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 20-year-old’s meteoric rise comes a little late by European standards.
Last season’s remarkable loan spell at Spezia put Francesco Pio Esposito on the map.
However, the teenage striker had to wait until the start of this season to make his senior breakthrough at San Siro.
Inter Milan Starlet Francesco Pio Esposito Lags Behind Elite European Teenagers
Despite his impressive performances, Esposito’s emergence has come late by European standards.
For comparison, Kylian Mbappe was in his second season at Paris Saint-Germain at the same age.
Moreover, the Frenchman was the leading figure of PSG’s Ligue 1 triumph that year, netting an eye-catching 26 goals.
Meanwhile, Joao Felix joined Atletico Madrid for a staggering €120 million transfer fee before turning 20.
Elsewhere, Erling Haaland was averaging 41 goals per season at Borussia Dortmund at 20.
Finally, Jude Bellingham scored 23 goals for Real Madrid upon his mega-money move from Die Borussen.
Therefore, Esposito’s emergence trails the meteoric progress of Europe’s elite youngsters.
The brits overhype everything so lets not compare. Pio is a great addition to the team. Tuttosport dissing Inter? I’m shocked. Maybe that 120:01 goal from sanchez still stinks. Typical gobi article. How many goals have mussi scored vs Inter? And thats why strikers in italy might need the extra year. Is there any team in france that comes even close to the financial power of the arabs? Do team like valadolid and elche have defences? Dont compare with haaland. He played for a dormund side that lost 30% of their games.
So the turin garbage said pio is not as good as the two best strikers in the world right now for someone who’s 20. Not bad for a kid with less than 10 games for Inter. That part about felix is just dumped there without any context, because….reasons. He achieved absolutely nothing wherever he went. Someone payed 120. Ok. Someone payed a lot of money for an ukranian cokehead and another team got a beer lover for the bench. I thought we’re on “braketrough” subject. Which is very subjective. All and all – someone is salty that everything they “stole” from inter merkato end up in the shop. Sorry about bremer, but…berna, chiesa, kabal, dybala…maybe beppe knows whats up.
Not just Inter, every Italian club is the same, Too little minutes are given to youngsters, but creation of U23 team will help us in the future to give teenagers competitive senior football.
it’s fake tournament anyway. Italian clubs have little history to believe in youngsters unless they are on out of this world level. that’s why it took so long to have national team regenerations
