According to The Express, Liverpool and Manchester City are interested in signing Inter Milan striker Sebastiano Esposito in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Liverpool are keen on the 16-year-old striker, who is playing for the Italy Under-17 side at the European Under-17 Championship at the moment.

The report has also claimed that City have been scouting the promising and talented young striker at the tournament.

“Jurgen Klopp’s academy scouts have been impressed with reports about Esposito and like City are now weighing up making a move for him,” adds the report in The Express.

Promising talent

Esposito is only 16 years of age, and it is clear that the Italy Under-17 striker is not going to be ready for the Liverpool or the City first team for a few years now.

However, there is no doubt that the teenager has a lot of potential, and he will be a good long-term signing for the Reds or the Citizens.

The youngster played 17 minutes in the Europa League for Inter during the 2018-19 campaign, according to WhoScored.

Perhaps Esposito should stay at Inter for one more year, and then decide whether or not to move on.
