According to Tuttomercato, Inter has decided to reject offers for the 20-year-old Italian centre-forward Francesco Pio Esposito from various clubs. During the summer, Inter's management, which includes Marotta, Ausilio, and Baccin, rejected interest in the player from multiple clubs. One proposal was from Atalanta, which would have been open to selling Lookman if Esposito were included in the transaction. The club also rejected a €45 million offer from Aurelio De Laurentiis, while major Premier League clubs are also reportedly interested in the player. The Italy international has 5 caps and 3 goals for his country. This season, he has recorded 3 goals and 4 assists in 21 Serie A appearances. Esposito joined Inter in July 2023 and is under contract until June 2030. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €35.00m. Reports from January 2026 state that Inter's valuation is well above this figure. Inter had previously rejected an offer of €8 million in September 2024.
