Esposito ready for Cagliari adventure
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 25: Sebastiano Esposito #70 replaces Francesco Esposito #94 of FC Internazionale Milano during a substitution during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between FC Internazionale Milano and CA River Plate at Lumen Field on June 25, 2025 in Seattle, Washington.

The 23-year-old spent last season on loan with Empoli, where he scored eight goals in 33 Serie A appearances, plus two in four Coppa Italia matches.
Obviously, as his contract is due to expire in June 2026, Inter would need to extend his deal first before giving the all clear to the transfer.
This would allow Cagliari to make it a loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season for a total fee of circa €7m.
In turn, this provides that extra financial boost that the Nerazzurri need to push their offer for Ademola Lookman over the edge and satisfy Atalanta.
