The Rossoblu first made contact with the Nerazzurri on July 2, and the club owned by Tommaso Giulini is determined to push for the ex-Empoli loanee in the coming days.

Esposito has one year left in his contract at San Siro, and Inter value him at €7m.

Esposito, scorer of eight goals in 33 Serie A appearances with Empoli last season, has also attracted interest from Fiorentina and Parma who have both sounded out the striker’s availability.

I had already mentioned him for a possible player-plus-cash swap deal with Parma for Giovanni Leoni, but Inter’s current priority is the signing of Ademola Lookman from Atalanta.

Cagliari are eager to reach an agreement with Inter as talks will resume in the following days.

Esposito played for Inter in the Club World Cup earlier this summer after spending the 2024-25 season on loan at Empoli.
