Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly eager to tie in-demand starlet Francesco Pio Esposito down to a bumper new contract.

According to Alfredo Pedulla via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri want to extend the 20-year-old’s deal as soon as possible.

Napoli tried to lure Esposito to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the summer.

Therefore, they tested Inter’s resolve with a lucrative €40 million offer.

However, the Nerazzurri turned down Napoli’s approach as Chivu convinced the club to keep hold of the prodigious center-forward.

It could prove a historic decision, with Esposito seemingly set to spearhead Inter’s attack for years to come.

Meanwhile, the player signed a new contract in May, pledging his future to San Siro until 2030.

Yet, Inter are willing to reward their academy graduate with an improved new deal.
