Sebastiano Esposito underlined his desire for first team football and revealed a brief interaction he had with returnee Romelu Lukaku.
The 19-year-old Italian forward is returning from his loan spell at FC Basel and appeared today at CONI alongside Romelu Lukaku and Kristjan Asllani to undergo a round of medical tests. Esposito will not stay with Inter, however, as he’s heading out to join Anderlecht on loan.
Speaking to reporters via Calciomercato this afternoon, Esposito commented on his move to Anderlecht and his quest for regular minutes.
“I don’t want to wait but I want to play, in any country. I would have done it in Italy, the offers are what they are and I’m brave enough to face a second experience abroad.
“I’ve said goodbye to Lukaku, he’s very fired up. My goal remains to return to Inter.”
At the age of 17, Esposito broke into the Inter first team under Antonio Conte in the 2019-20 season, where he made seven Serie A appearances and scored one goal. He quickly rose to prominence as one of the most exciting young Italian talents, but successive loan spells have seen his stock fall a little.
After a decent year on loan with FC Basel, Esposito will now be looking to shine with Anderlecht in an attempt to earn a spot in the Nerazzurri squad.
