Inter, Pio Esposito, agent says: "Too much hype around him, balance needed" | OneFootball

During the Palermo Football Meeting, held at La Braciera in Villa and organized by Conference403 with the sponsorship of the ARS and the Municipality of Palermo, Pio Esposito's agent, Mario Giuffredi, clearly expressed his disappointment over the media hype surrounding the young Inter striker.

Inter, Pio Esposito, the agent: “Too much hype around him, balance is needed”

During his speech, Giuffredi wanted to send a message of caution, emphasizing the need to let the player grow without excessive pressure.

Giuffredi's words: “Calm is needed, Pio is still at the beginning of his journey”

“I don't like to talk about Pio,” the agent began. “I don't like this media hype being created around a very young player. Pio has paid his dues, proving he deserves Serie A. But I don't agree with the way he is being talked about, with too much importance and too much hype.”

Giuffredi then added: “He needs to live his career peacefully, without enormous expectations. He is a balanced boy, aware that difficult moments will also come. We must let him grow calmly, without proclamations.”

“National team? First, he must prove everything on the field”

The agent also wanted to downplay the prospects of Esposito's rapid rise to the senior national team: “I would be cautious in saying he will be Italy's forward for the next ten years. He will have to prove himself like all other players. If he does, it will mean he has earned it.”

A call for balance, therefore, for a talent that has attracted much attention in recent months, thanks to his convincing performances with the Inter jersey.

A promising young player, but one to be protected

Pio Esposito, born in 2005, is considered one of the most interesting prospects in the Italian scene. After his loan experience at Spezia, he has gained the trust of the Nerazzurri environment, becoming a regular part of the first team rotations.

However, Giuffredi urges everyone not to rush things: “We try to teach him to keep his feet on the ground,” he concluded. A clear message, aiming to protect the boy from excessive exposure and to remind that the growth of a young player also involves the ability to manage pressure.
