Lazio Eyeing Moves for Inter Milan Teenager & Fiorentina Full-Back | OneFootball

Lazio are aiming to present Maurizio Sarri with a few interesting signings, and this could include Inter Milan youngster Francesco Pio Esposito.

Lazio Determined to Keep Big Names

As Alfredo Pedulla explains, the returning manager has agreed with the hierarchy to maintain the core of the squad, and this includes the unsatisfied Alessio Romagnoli. So rather than pulling off a revolution on the market, the club only intends to strengthen the squad by signing the right players for the right roles.

Lazio Chasing Francesco Pio Esposito

The Biancocelesti are determined to add a striker to their ranks, and the Italian journalist reveals interest in Francesco Pio Esposito, the youngest of three brothers who rose through the ranks at Inter. The 19-year-old spent the last two campaigns on loan at Spezia alongside his older sibling Salvatore, while middle child Sebastiano impressed at Empoli this term.

Esposito Ready for Serie A

Francesco Pio contributed with 19 goals and three assists in 40 appearances this season, but it wasn’t enough to earn the Aquilotti a promotion to the top flight, as they lost in the final of the Serie B playoffs to Cremonese. Nevertheless, all observers agree that the teenager has shown enough to warrant a chance in Serie A.

Competition from Napoli

The big centre-forward might struggle to play regularly at Inter, so it remains to be seen if the Champions League finalists would be willing to offload him. Pedulla reveals that Napoli have also enquired about the young man’s availability.

Lazio Also Want Fabiano Parisi

In addition to Esposito, the transfer market expert mentions Fabiano Parisi as another profile who caught Lazio’s eye. The 24-year-old is a left-back who rose to the scene during his time at Empoli, before joining their local rivals Fiorentina in the summer of 2023.

A Second Choice at Fiorentina

The Italian full-back has yet to establish himself as a regular starter in Florence, as Robin Gosens remains ahead of him in the pecking order. However, he occasionally managed to prove his worth when given the opportunity, especially in attacking forays, and is also versatile enough to play on the right flank.
