Pisa Manager Hints At Potential Summer Swoop For Inter Milan Teen Prodigy: “Very Strong” | OneFootball

Pisa coach Filippo Inzaghi praised Inter Milan loanee Francesco Pio Esposito ahead of a potential summer swoop.

Speaking on the latest episode of the Trevi Fountain via FCInterNews, Pippo waxed lyrical about the 19-year-old starlet.

Filippo Inzaghi has helped Pisa earn a heavily anticipated Serie A promotion for the first time in over 30 years.

As a result, he will try to reinforce his squad to make them competitive in Italy’s elite division next season.

Meanwhile, the 51-year-old has gained recognition for his impressive success with Pisa.

Inter boss Simone Inzaghi was among the first to congratulate his brother for this historic achievement.

“I received many messages, but my brother’s was the most appreciated,” Pippo admitted. “We talk about everything, especially football.

“I’ll be in Munich for the Champions League final.”

Unlike Pisa, Spezia must navigate the dreaded playoffs to secure a coveted top-flight return.

Any failed attempt to do so would likely see Francesco Pio Esposito leave Stadio Alberto Picco in the coming months.

Despite Spezia’s great desire to keep the youngster on board, Inter want their rising start to feature in Serie A.

Therefore, a potential loan to Pisa could be on the cards.

“Very strong,” Pisa boss Inzaghi replied when asked to describe the Italian teenager.

“Along with Tramoni, they were the players who made the difference for their respective teams.

“He impressed me, he’s ready for Serie A. Strong mentally, fast, he’s ready. He did amazing things.

“Sometimes young players have to make the right choices. I think he aspires for the best and will get to Inter.

“But as a young player, he needs to play.

“When I was young, I always tried to play.”

Esposito has enjoyed a dream Serie B campaign, netting 16 goals across 34 appearances.

In doing so, he has soaked up the limelight as Spezia’s standout performer.

Furthermore, only Sassuolo Armand Lauriente has netted more goals in the second tier than him.
