Inter Milan values Pio Esposito at £85m amid Arsenal interest

Inter Milan has reportedly set a high valuation for striker Pio Esposito following his recent long-term contract extension. The 21-year-old Italian international is now tied to the Serie A club until June 2032.

Arsenal has expressed interest in the forward, but reports suggest that an offer of approximately €100 million (£84.75 million) would be insufficient to secure his services. Inter Milan officials, including CEO Beppe Marotta, appear committed to the player's long-term future at the club, where he has become a regular starter.

Due to the high valuation and the player's new contract, Arsenal may need to seek alternative attacking options as they look to bolster their squad.
