Milan Transfer Market: Amorim Is Impressed by an Azzurro—What Happens Next?

Milan’s first Italian signing of the Ruben Amorim era could be on the horizon. According to reports, the Rossoneri have set their sights on a player who is making a name for himself with Roberto Mancini’s national team and could fit well into the Portuguese coach’s system.

Sebastiano Esposito’s performances against Turkey and France have caught the attention of the Rossoneri, who may continue to monitor him in the future with a view to signing him next summer. Following his tumultuous departure from Cagliari, the forward is finding his footing at Sassuolo, and the opportunity Roberto Mancini has given him on the national team—alongside his brother Pio—could help him find a club where he can take his game to the next level in the future.

According to reports from calciomercato.it, Milan will be keeping a close eye on him in the coming months to determine whether he could be a viable option for Amorim’s squad. The player is estimated to be worth around 20 million euros, and his value could rise further based on his performances with the senior national team and the Neroverdi.

Esposito has scored one goal in the two matches he’s played for the Reggio Emilia club, where he arrived on loan with an option to buy through June 30, 2027. In the 3-2 victory over Juventus on September 13, the 2002-born player was one of the standout performers: he opened the scoring in the 65th minute with a precise diagonal shot off a pass from Matic that beat Vicario, making a decisive contribution to Sassuolo’s win. This performance confirmed that Alberto Aquilani’s project in Reggio Emilia is bringing out the best in his talents.
