Inter Milan Plans to Triple Esposito’s Salary Amid Premier League Interest
Inter Milan is taking steps to enhance Francesco Pio Esposito’s contract to fend off potential offers from Premier League clubs, according to recent reports. Following a productive meeting with Esposito’s agent, the club aims to significantly increase the striker’s salary.
A product of Inter’s youth academy, Esposito had a loan spell with Spezia in the 2024-25 season, with expectations for a similar arrangement in the past year. However, after showcasing impressive performances under the guidance of new coach Cristian Chivu, the decision was made to retain him. This season, he has emerged as a key player, contributing 11 goals and seven assists across 50 competitive appearances.
The club is eager to solidify Esposito’s commitment as he still has four years remaining on his current contract. They aim to ensure he isn’t lured by lucrative offers from abroad, particularly from English clubs that have shown interest.
In discussions with club directors, Esposito’s agent focused on the terms of a new contract. While no formal agreement has been penned yet, sources indicate that negotiations are moving positively. Reports from Sky Sport Italia and Tuttosport reveal that Inter’s plan includes tripling Esposito’s salary to €3.2 million per season, inclusive of performance-related incentives.
