The work continues under the radar Cagliari to rejuvenate next season’s squad in A league. In the last few hours Radio Mercato has repeatedly linked the name of the 2005 class ofInter Francesco Pio Esposito to the rossoblù, in the classic deal between the Nerazzurri and the club Tommaso Giulini in summer. The name of the versatile striker who grew up in the Nerazzurri’s youth sector has become increasingly popular, especially after there seems to be nothing that Cagliari can do about the return of Oristanio on the island. The 2002 born player was identified by Genoa as a counterpart in the deal that could bring goalkeeper Josep Martinez to Milan. Although in the last few hours Venezia has made a significant offer of between 4 and 5 million on the player and the deal remains in progress. Pio Esposito however it has different characteristics compared to Oristaniobut it could be the classic young strike to give freshness and alternatives to the rossoblù’s attack Davide Nicola ahead of the next championship. Let’s see in detail what the addition of the youngest of the brothers could give the Sardinians Esposito.
Revolution
Red Blue who this year will implement what will be a real revolution in the advanced department, with Gianluca Lapadula which is very interesting B series (Pisa and Palermo are the clubs linked to the Peruvian now involved in the Copa America). In an attack that saw the failure to redeem Andrea Petagnareturned to Monza, and of Eldor Shomurodov who returned to Roma. Both returning from a subdued season, for different reasons, in Sardinia. Several names are on the table for those who will be the replacements for the players just mentioned, above all the young talent from 2005 Francesco Pio Espositocentral striker active this year on loan to Spice and younger brother of Sebastiano and Salvatore Esposito. He also grew up in Inter’s youth team and is European Under 19 champion in 2023. The player who began his professional career last season in B serieswhere he recorded 38 games played and 3 goals, the last against Venice very important to guarantee the safety of the Spice.
Player
What should we expect from him? Pio Esposito he is a central striker, very physical, 1.89 cm tall and with a good sense of goal. Christian Chivu who had the opportunity to coach him in Inter’s Primavera team spoke about him like this: “I worked with him every day, he was world vice champion with the Under 20s and champion with the Under 19s, everything he does in the future will not surprise me, he has the qualities to do well in his career”. In case of disembarkation Asseminello with certainty he will not lead the starting attack of the Cagliari, but we will have to see what his adaptation to the top flight will be. There is no shortage of personality, a striker with good technique and good positioning. The differences between Esposito And Oristanio they are a lot. Claudio Ranieri he used the former Volendam player as an attacking midfielder, as a winger and often also as a second striker, ready to support the centre-forward. Esposito instead he presents himself as a pure striker, even if he is a modern attacker who knows how to vary a lot. At the Spice in his first year among the adults he played in a two-pronged attack, supported mainly by Giuseppe Di Seriobut also from Luca Moro in a very young La Spezia attack considering that the latter was the oldest at 23 years old. The feeling created with is important Di Serio as demonstrated by the assist for the goal scored by Pio Esposito in the 2-1 against Venezia. The blue striker knows how to exploit his height well, in fact 2 of the 3 goals scored in the junior series came with a header. A true trademark of the Inter school center forward. Since it certainly makes the Cagliari area happy, accustomed in recent seasons to the captain’s gorings Leonardo Pavolettifresh from renewal with the rossoblù until 2026. Even if the last word on the use and ideal positioning on the pitch, in case of arrival in Sardiniait will be up to Davide Nicola.
