Report – Inter Milan & Spezia In Advanced Talks For Talented Greek Center-Back | OneFootball

Negotiations between Inter Milan and Spezia for up-and-coming defender Christos Alexiou have reached ‘advanced’ stages.

According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira via FCInterNews, the youngster should join the Aquilotti on loan.

Francesco Pio Esposito made a name for himself at Stadio Alberto Picco last season.

Therefore, Spezia see Christos Alexiou as the next promising talent to benefit from regular minutes in their backline.

The two clubs are ironing out the final details, with a deal expected to come soon.

Indeed, Alexiou should join the Serie B side on a season-long loan.

However, whether Spezia would have a buyout option remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, it would be Alexiou’s first taste of senior football in Italy.

He has been part of the Primavera squad since joining Inter from Atromitos in 2021.

Furthermore, he captained the U20 side and featured in the UEFA Youth League with great success.

Alexiou’s impressive showings at the youth level have not gone unnoticed.

Indeed, Greek powerhouse Olympiacos showed interest in his services toward the end of last season.

However, talks between the clubs never took off as Alexiou looks close to joining Spezia.
