Torino are pushing to sign Inter Milan striker Francesco Pio Esposito on loan for next season.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908. They report that the Nerazzurri would be open to the idea of a dry loan for the 19-year-old.
At the moment, striker Francesco Pio Esposito is on loan at Spezia.
And it has been a hugely successful loan spell for the 19-year-old.
Pio Esposito has scored fourteen goals from 28 matches in Serie B this campaign. That puts him behind only Catanzaro’s Pietro Iemello in the division’s scoring charts.
Therefore, the decision for Pio Esposito to stay on loan with the Ligurian club this campaign looks to be the right one.
But now, it seems only a matter of time before Pio Esposito makes the jump up to Serie A. He should be ready for the top flight next season.
Torino Push To Sign Inter Striker Francesco Pio Esposito On Loan
Tuttosport report that in Serie A, one club in particular are keen on Francesco Pio Esposito.
Torino see the teenage striker as a major target for next season.
However, the Granata are well aware that they would never be able to sign Pio Esposito on a permanent basis.
Inter have no intention of selling the 19-year-old outright. And if they were to listen to offers, it would have to be for a fee that is well outside of Torino’s price range.
But that could suit the Granata just fine.
The Piedmontese club would still be interested in signing Pio Esposito on loan.
And Inter are leaning towards the idea of another dry loan for the Italy Under-21 international. That way he can gain Serie A experience, but still be under their control for the future.
Inter could loan Pio Esposito to Spezia for a third season should the Ligurian club win promotion to the top flight.
However, alternatively, if Spezia don’t come up to Serie A, Torino would be in a strong position to sign the young striker.
