Sebastiano Espositos’ agent compares him to Baggio, hints at potential Napoli move

Start

Sebastiano Esposito, the 22-year-old striker developed in Inter Milan’s youth academy, is finally living up to the high expectations set for him since Antonio Conte first introduced him to the first team. After several loan spells at various clubs, including SPAL, Venezia, Basel, Anderlecht, and Bari, Esposito is now flourishing at Empoli, where he has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 8 appearances across Serie A and Coppa Italia.

Esposito is currently on loan at Empoli from Inter Milan, with the Tuscan club holding a €5 million purchase option. Interestingly, Inter did not secure a buy-back clause in the deal. While the fee is substantial for Empoli, the potential for a profitable resale could open up new scenarios. Even if Empoli doesn’t exercise their purchase option, Esposito would return to Inter with only one year left on his contract, set to expire on June 30, 2026.

Calciomercato report how Mario Giuffredi, Esposito’s agent, recently spoke about his client in an interview with Radio Crc. He stated, “Sebastiano Esposito was launched by Antonio Conte at Inter. He has great potential. He always jokes with me that I don’t understand anything about football, but sometimes when I see him play, he reminds me of Roberto Baggio. He only lost a few years due to some mistakes he made, but he needed to mature.”

Regarding Esposito’s future, Giuffredi was cautious but revealing: “Future at Napoli? I won’t speculate, but he only has one year left on his contract with Inter (after the loan), even though the Nerazzurri have always strongly believed in him, and still do.”

It’s difficult to predict whether Esposito’s journey with Inter has come to an end. The club has always had faith in him, and despite not having a pre-arranged buy-back option, their good relationship with Empoli could potentially pave the way for his return to Milan.

There are also rumors of Napoli’s interest, with sporting director Manna known to be an admirer of the young striker. Napoli’s excellent relations with Empoli could play a role in any future negotiations.
