Report – Inter Milan Plot Double Swoop To Reinforce Attack & Evaluate Various Scenarios For In-Demand Prodigy
Report – Inter Milan Plot Double Swoop To Reinforce Attack & Evaluate Various Scenarios For In-Demand Prodigy Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund rank highly on Inter Milan's list of priorities, and so does the future of Francesco Pio Esposito. Italian journalist Luca Marchetti took stock of Inter's transfer plans via FCInter1908, including the situation of the young gun. Advertisement Widely considered among Italy's finest talents, Francesco Pio Esposito is part of Inter's Club World Cup squad. It could be a presentable opportunity for the 19-year-old to prove himself on the grand stage. However, there's still a veil of mystery surrounding his future. Indeed, the Serie A runners-up remain committed to adding two attacking pieces to Cristian Chivu's attacking jigsaw. Therefore, they must re-evaluate the youngster's first-team prospects heading into a transitional summer. Inter Milan Keen on Ange-Yoan Bonny & Rasmus Hojlund But Unwilling to Lose Francesco Pio Esposito PARMA, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 16: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio celebrates after scoring his team second goal during the Serie A match between Parma and Udinese at Stadio Ennio Tardini on September 16, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Esposito would likely be a decent option in rotation, but that could be counterproductive for his development. Advertisement As such, Chivu must examine all the factors before deciding what to do with one of the most in-demand Italian prospects. On the other hand, Inter seem to be tightening the noose on Parma's Ange-Yoan Bonny. With the player's consent in the bag, all that is left is an agreement with the Crusaders. Despite Parma's €25 million asking price, the deal looks inevitable. Things may not be as simple in Hojlund's case. Valued at €45m by Manchester United, the Dane has flopped in the Premier League. Therefore, he'd probably favor a return to Serie A, yet Inter can only sign him on loan with a mandatory buyout clause. Finally, there's the Mehdi Taremi conundrum. Indeed, the Iranian star wants to stay, but the Nerazzurri will listen to offers for their underperforming striker.
