He also specifically dismissed any Arsenal-related rumors, stating:
“At this moment, there is nothing linking Arsenal to Esposito. There is no concrete interest. Pio is happy at Inter, and there’s no indication that he might leave this summer.”
Currently, the situation remains stable, with Inter fully committed to nurturing one of Italy’s most promising young talents.
Esposito has indeed had a breakout season with the Nerazzurri, successfully carving out his role among a talented roster of forwards.
