Francesco Pio Esposito currently earns around €1.1 million net per season.

Meanwhile, the runaway Serie A leaders are willing to increase his salary to around €3 million per year.

Indeed, Inter are planning to build their future around the Italian prodigy.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu has already made Esposito central to his project this season, with the youngster repaying that trust with several crucial goals.

On the other hand, Arsenal scouts observed the striker during Inter’s 3-2 home win over Juventus last Saturday.

Mikel Arteta reportedly views Esposito as an upgrade on his current attacking options, but Inter are reluctant to sell their rising star.
