21-year-old forward Francesco Pio Esposito is on the brink of signing a new long-term contract with Inter Milan, set to run until 2031, which includes a substantial salary increase.
Rumours may have swirled, but neither Arsenal nor Manchester United are making tangible moves to secure his signature. Representatives from both English clubs reached out to clarify the situation, only to receive a definitive response: the player intends to tie his future to the Milan giants.
Arsenal's search for attacking reinforcements
Following missed opportunities with Vinicius Junior and Morgan Rogers, Arsenal continue their search for attacking options.
Julian Alvarez: A move from Atletico Madrid appears unlikely, as the Argentine prefers to remain in Spain. Atletico have already turned down advances from Barcelona.
Bradley Barcola: The PSG winger remains on the Gunners' radar, but Liverpool are considered favourites in the race for the Frenchman.
Ferran Torres: Arsenal have also assessed the situation regarding the Spaniard, although potential negotiations could be hampered by interest from PSG and Barcelona's desire to keep the player.
While Francesco Pio Esposito will remain on Arsenal's scouting list, any move for the forward is likely to be revisited in the future.
