According to the latest Francesco Pio Esposito contract update, bumper new terms are set to be offered to the Inter Milan starlet.

Francesco Pio Esposito Contract Update

In September, Inter striker Francesco Pio Esposito was described as a “great talent” by Nerazzurri president Beppe Marotta. Now, he and sporting director Piero Ausilio are prepared to reward the academy star.

According to Capology, Pio Esposito currently earns a base salary of €1.85million per year. That equates to just over €35,000 a week.

Even though he signed a new deal until 2030 in spring, Inter wants to considerably increase his pay packet. It’s understood that the reported offer on the table will be at least double what he currently pockets.

After the start he has had to the 2025-26 campaign – both domestically and on the international stage – that is an attractive proposal for Pio Esposito to consider.

What Clubs Have Shown An Interest In Francesco Pio Esposito?

Inter head coach Cristian Chivu – who Francesco Pio Esposito heaped praise on back in August – will be hopeful that his young starlet re-commits his future to the club.

Especially as it was reported on October 14 that a €50m offer was turned down for Pio Esposito from an unnamed club. That in itself highlights how fondly potential suitors think of the Italy star.

Maurizio Sarri was reportedly interested in the summer but the Lazio transfer ban ended those aspirations. A number of smaller clubs in Serie A were also keen on a loan move. However, the Nerazzurri knew he was ready for the senior side.

It’s more than likely that if Pio Esposito continues to flourish, Europe’s heavyweights will all be casting an eye over Pio Esposito. Whether he pens a new contract or not.
