Sebastiano Esposito at Anderlecht: Inter have the counter-redemption

The talent of Inter, after a season in the dark in Switzerland, goes to Belgium. Mazzù’s team can redeem him for 10 million, but the Nerazzurri have the counter-redemption

New adventure for Sebastiano Esposito, who will have to postpone his return to Italy again. Despite the polls of some Serie A clubs, including Salernitana and Empoli, it was Anderlecht who made a strong contribution in the last few hours for the young Nerazzurri striker. Barring any last minute surprises, Esposito will sign with the Belgian club tomorrow, at the end of the medical examinations. The agreement between Inter and Anderlecht provides for a loan with the right of redemption set at 10 million. As provided for in the previous agreement with Basel, in which Esposito played last season with mixed results, the Nerazzurri have reserved the possibility of exercising the counter-redemption for one million.

New challenge

Serie A or abroad, for Esposito the important thing was to find a team that would guarantee him the possibility of playing and accumulating experience after a decent year in Switzerland, at least from the point of view of continuity (except for the 87 days spent in the infirmary for various ailments) . Anderlecht, coached by the son of Italian emigrants in Belgium Felice Mazzu, has evidently given the appropriate guarantees to the boy, who in Brussels will also have the opportunity to repeat the European experience lived last season in Basel, obviously assuming that his new team pass the Conference League preliminaries. In Switzerland, 7 goals and 9 assists in 34 appearances have arrived, not bad spoils for a young man in his first experience abroad, but there was no shortage of tantrums that they have in the middle of the season have wreaked havoc in the locker room. The balance sheet, at least from a sporting point of view, was however positive, so much so that the Nerazzurri management decided to replicate last year’s operation with Basel, retaining the right of counter-redemption to maintain control over what is considered a talent. and a valuable resource for the future. Esposito’s dream is not a mystery, it remains to return to the base to dress the Nerazzurri again. If he is able to exploit the Belgian “showcase”, the dream could even become reality.
