Manchester United’s pursuit of Inter Milan forward Pio Esposito appears to have taken a complicated turn. The Red Devils are looking to add more bite to their attack this summer, with a backup striker for Benjamin Sesko high on their agenda.
The Slovenian is coming off an impressive debut campaign, finishing with 12 goals and one **** ist in 32 games across all competitions. His contributions were vital as the English giants finished third in the Premier League table and secured qualification for the Champions League.
With United set to fight on four fronts next season, INEOS are preparing to upgrade the squad in anticipation of a congested fixture list. Joshua Zirkzee has failed to impress since his arrival at Old Trafford and remains linked with an exit this summer.
The Red Devils are already searching for the Dutchman’s possible replacement, and recent reports suggest they have identified Esposito as an option for the role.
Esposito rose through the ranks at Inter Milan and attracted suitors across the continent during his two-season loan spell at Spezia. He signed a new deal with the Nerazzurri last year until 2030 before being integrated into the first team last season.
