Overview
- Arsenal and Manchester United made initial enquiries, but CaughtOffside reports they were told Esposito is not available this summer.
- Fabrizio Romano, via Football Italia, reports Newcastle have discussed the striker internally, with Arsenal yet to make contact and unlikely to prioritise a big striker spend.
- Inter view the academy product as central to their project and are preparing contract talks rather than opening sale negotiations.
- Reporting differs on the extent of Arsenal’s engagement, yet no formal bids or negotiations have been confirmed by any party.
- Esposito has seven goals this season at age 20, and some outlets suggest Inter would only consider offers at a very high valuation, though the club’s current stance is to keep him.
