Esposito enjoyed a remarkable breakout season at Spezia last term.
Indeed, he netted 19 goals in Serie B, helping the Aquilotti secure a place in the promotion playoffs.
However, Spezia's loss to Cremonese in the semi-finals spelled the end of Esposito's adventure at Stadio Alberto Picco.
Although many expected the teenage sensation to leave Inter for regular first-team action, Chivu has other plans.

Instead of departing for another loan, Esposito will fight for his place at San Siro after impressing the ex-Parma coach.
He scored in his first start for Inter last night as Chivu's side dispatched River Plate 2-0 at the FIFA Club World Cup.
