Inter Poised to Offer Pio Esposito New Long-Term Deal With Major Pay Increase
Club sources frame the planned renewal as recognition of the 20-year-old’s rapid progress under Cristian Chivu.
Overview
- Italian reports say Inter are preparing a fresh contract for the striker that would significantly raise his salary, with some outlets indicating a possible doubling of current terms.
- Esposito renewed in May with wages lifted to about €1 million net per season after previously earning roughly €300,000.
- Napoli tested Inter’s stance last spring with an offer reported at €35 million plus bonuses rising toward €40 million, which the Nerazzurri rejected.
- Inter consider the 2005-born forward a cornerstone of their project and, per club briefings, view the update as a merit-based reward rather than a simple deterrent to suitors.
- His strong start to the 2025/26 campaign under Chivu has increased his importance in the first team, prompting the push to formalize improved terms.
