Fiorentina are ready to rival Parma for the signature of Inter Milan striker Sebastiano Esposito this summer transfer window.
This according to today’s print edition of FLorence-based newspaper La Nazione, via FCInter1908.
Sebastiano Esposito is currently back at Inter Milan. The 22-year-old’s loan at Empoli ended, and the Tuscan side did not sign him on a permanent basis.
Esposito has travelled to the United States with the Nerazzurri squad for the Club World Cup.
And in fact, the Italy Under-21 international has started both of Inter’s group stage matches so far. He was in the starting eleven against Monterrey and Urawa Red Diamonds.

Esposito will remain part of the Inter squad for the rest of the tournament. However, after that he is likely to leave the Nerazzurri.
The question now is which club will come forward to sign Esposito.
The 22-year-old did have a strong season out on loan with Empoli last time out. Therefore, there is not a lack of interest in his signature.
Parma remain keen on Esposito. He even came up in talks for Ange-Yoan Bonny.
However, reports La Nazione, another club have come forward with an interest in Sebastiano Esposito.
Fiorentina have already signed Edin Dzeko on a free transfer. But that may not be the end of their business in attack.
For starters, La Viola will not be signing Albert Gudmundsson on a permanent basis with his loan having expired.
Moreover, the future of Moise Kean is not altogether certain.
Fiorentina had already shown an interest in one Inter striker in the form of Francesco Pio Esposito. However, he could prove a tough ask to sign.
Therefore, reports La Nazione, the Tuscans are also looking at Sebastiano Esposito as a target.
