Ideally, Inter would loan Esposito out to gain top-flight experience next term.
However, the club's bid to revamp their attacking options may require sacrifice.
Therefore, they've already put Mehdi Taremi and Sebastiano Esposito up for sale.
Meanwhile, they'd rather keep hold of Valentin Carboni and Francesco Pio.
In that regard, they've already rebuffed Napoli's attempt to lure the latter to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Yet, it's hard to discard the possibility of a loan exit.

Mile Svilar to sign new 5-year contract with Roma in July Roma are one step away from finalizing the contract renewal of Mile Svilar. The negotiations, which have kept the future of the Belgian goalkeeper in suspense, now seem to have reached the final stages.

Roma's new sporting director, Frederic Massara, is working to define the final details with the player's agent. According to Corriere dello Sport, the proposal currently being finalized includes a five-year contract with a salary of 3.5 million euros per year plus bonuses. This is a figure significantly higher than the current salary, which is around a million euros. An initial offer of 3 million was rejected, but the increase and the new conditions seem to have led the parties to an agreement.

Inter Milan To Make Decisions On Future Of Aging Trio After Club World Cup Inter Milan will decide on the futures of Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan after the Club World Cup. This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. They report that out of the three veteran players, Acerbi would be the likeliest to depart this summer. Advertisement This summer looks to be one of transition for Inter Milan. It is no secret that Inter owners Oaktree Capital want to move the project towards a focus on youth rather than experience. Moreover, the Nerazzurri had the highest average squad age in Serie A last season. By some distance. Therefore, Inter are skewing towards signing younger players. But at the same time, the Nerazzurri also must make decisions regarding the future of some veteran players who have been key figures for them over the last few years. Inter Milan To Decide On Futures Of Acerbi, Darmian & Mkhitaryan After Club World Cup PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Francesco Acerbi #15 of FC Internazionale Milano warms up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) In the meantime, Inter Milan have been playing at the Club World Cup this summer. Advertisement The tournament has acted as something of a watershed for the Nerazzurri squad. On the one hand, young players have gotten a chance to impress. Players like Francesco Pio Esposito, Valentin Carboni, Petar Sucic, and Luis Henrique have all caught the eye. But at the same time, new Inter coach Cristian Chivu has still been relying on some of the veterans in the squad. For example, Francesco Acerbi has started two out of Inter's three group stage matches. Meanwhile, Matteo Darmian started all three. He started at right-wingback against Monterrey, before filling in on the right of the back three in the absence of Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck. Advertisement Then, Henrikh Mkhitaryan has started twice and come off the bench once. Therefore, it is clear that, at least for the time being, these vastly experienced players have a role to play. But this summer will represent an important turning point for Inter. And the club must decide which older players will have a role next season. According to FCInterNews, it is not impossible that Inter could decide to part ways with Francesco Acerbi. Considering that the Nerazzurri are aiming to make a major defensive signing, the 37-year-old may find himself squeezed out. On the other hand, the versatile Matteo Darmian is more likely to remain as reliable squad depth. Advertisement Similarly, FCIN report, Inter are likely to keep Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the fold. The Armenian won't be a regular starter as he has been in the last three seasons. Most likely, Petar Sucic's arrival will mean that Mkhitaryan's playing time tails off. However, reports FCIN, Inter will in all likelihood keep Mkhitaryan around.
