The young Nerazzurri attacker had impressed the Club World Cup by immediately showing himself a valid alternative to the Thula. But if the Nigerian arrived …
The phase is that of a profound evolution. The Inter focuses on Lookman, Atalanta sent the first offer of 40 million to the sender, demanding 50, but the difference between supply and demand is not so insurmountable and above all the Nigerian striker seems strongly determined to move to Milan. That’s why it is probably premature to sketch assessments on how Inter would change in playing in case of actual arrival of Lookman, but the feeling is that, this time, the great market blow can really materialize. A purchase that would surely raise the level of Chivu’s team, and at the same time would impose reflections on the rich offensive department of the Nerazzurri.

Lautaro, Thuram, Lookman, Bonny and Pio Esposito. “Not bad”, it comes to think immediately. Above all, considering that, beyond the Thula, the Inter attacker park would pass from Arnautovic-Correa-Taremi to precisely Lookman-Bonny-Exposito. Here it is, the great Nerazzurri problem of last season, which had reduced the team to a heavy physical and mental tiredness on the most beautiful, just when it counted more. The second lines of the 24-25 rose have never given a significant contribution, even more particularly in front. And then the Interista management project for the next season is clear: to put a more complete team in the hands of the new technician Chivu -both in numerical and technical terms -to avoid finding himself with nothing in the hands of a vintage however exciting. A strategy that, however, would increase the internal competition a lot. So, with the possible purchase of Lookman, would the future of Pio Esposito with Inter change?

Dry answer: no. The design that Inter have in mind for Pio Esposito is very clear. The goal, after having rejected at least a dozen proposals that came for him both from Italy and from abroad, is to allow the 2005 striker to grow already within the Nerazzurri group. The year on loan has already made it, demonstrating with Spezia – 19 goals between Regular Season and Serie B playoffs – to be from Inter. And in fact, on the first occasion during the World Cup in America, Esposito did not betray the very high expectations that the vast majority of the Interists put on him. The “random” assist for Carboni in the challenge to the Japanese of the Japanese Red Diamonds, as well as the 9 pure scratch that has in fact decided the challenge against River Plate, is decisive. The entry into Lookman’s team would probably change Chivu’s starting structure, which from 3-5-2 would pass to a 3-4-2-1 (or 3-4-1-2) already experienced in America. So, for Pio Esposito no alarm: he and Bonny will be the first Gregari ready to take over from the bench, depending on moments of the game and characteristics of the opponent. Pio’s future will be Nerazzurri, but the present … as well.
