Newcastle United Serious About Inter Milan & Italy Starlet As Arsenal Rumours Played Down | OneFootball

Newcastle United are prepared to make a concrete offer for Pio Esposito, but Inter Milan have made their position crystal clear, the Italy starlet is untouchable according to social media influencer Fabrizio Romano.

Romano moved to clarify the picture, via FCInterNews, around the 2005-born forward.

Especially after a flurry of reports linked him with a Premier League move.

Arsenal, despite being mentioned prominently in several outlets, have never entered into negotiations for Esposito.

And, indeed, their interest has been limited to scouting activity.

Newcastle, however, are a different matter.

The Magpies have a track record of recruiting from Serie A.

Therefore, they are ready to back their interest with a genuine financial offer.

However, it will not be enough.

Inter Have No Intention Of Selling Pio Esposito To Newcastle

Inter regard Pio Esposito as one of their most important assets and have no intention of entertaining offers regardless of the size.

President Beppe Marotta had already signalled as much publicly in recent weeks.

And, indeed, Romano’s update only reinforces that stance.

The teenager has developed from a Serie B loan player into a key figure at Inter in the space of twelve months.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri have every reason to protect him.

And, finally, there is no financial pressure that would force their hand into a sale.
