Esposito: ‘I don’t forget I was in Serie B two years ago’

Esposito: ‘I don’t forget I was in Serie B two years ago’ Pio Esposito cannot seem to stop scoring for Italy or Inter, but the 21-year-old remains humble. ‘I don’t forget that two years ago I was in Serie B.’ The centre-forward has seven goals in just 13 senior caps for the Azzurri since making his debut in September 2025. He was on target in two of the four Nations League matches played during this break for international duty, along with providing an assist. It was a family affair, starting two of those games alongside brother Sebastiano Esposito.
