Manchester United run rule over Pio Esposito, face Arsenal battle

Manchester United and Arsenal are actively tracking Inter Milan forward Francesco Pio Esposito ahead of a potential permanent summer transfer. According to Calciomercato, Manchester United recently watched the 21-year-old striker play against Como, while Arsenal scouted him during recent Nations League matches for Italy. Esposito has emerged as a key figure for Inter this season, contributing four goals and two assists across 13 appearances in all competitions.

Inter Milan maintain a strong negotiating position after signing the striker to a contract extension through 2032 in September. While a mid-season departure in the winter window is deemed highly unlikely, the Italian club is expected to demand €100 million or more if they consider selling him in the summer.
