Inter Milan president Giuseppe Marotta has dismissed reports that Arsenal have made contact with Pio Esposito.
Arsenal have been linked with a signing for the 20-year-old, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season in Serie A. Esposito made 37 appearances for Inter Milan, scoring seven goals, while he impressed with three goals in five appearances for the Azzurri.

After a loan move to Spezia, the youngster won the Serie B Footballer of the Year for the 2024-25 season. His rapid improvement caught the attention of opposing teams.
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing the striker to provide competition for Victor Choukres at the Emirates Stadium.
However, Marotta insists Inter have not received any approaches for the player and have no interest in entering into sale talks.
“Despite reports, Arsenal have not asked for Pio Esposito,” he said.
“We are not planning to sell top players, player transactions are not our priority. We see Pio Esposito as a key gem for our future. Anything can happen in the future, but I am talking about the very distant future.”
