Nicolo Bertola and Francesco Pio Esposito subjects of an intense transfer battle
Spezia youngsters Nicolo Bertola and Francesco Pio Esposito could be subjects of an intense transfer battle between Bologna and Inter Milan.
The Serie A teams are genuinely interested in the young Aquilotti pair, according to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews. Nicolo Bertola has long been a target for Inter. Beppe Marotta has already prepared the way for the 21-year-old's arrival in 2025, when his contract at Stadio Alberto Picco expires.
There are still discussions between Spezia and the Nerazzurri over the young defender's transfer to Giuseppe Meazza. Despite their initial intention to sign Bertola on a Bosman contract, Inter is now keen to sign him in January. As a result, they have stepped up their talks with the side of Luca D'Angelo. But Bologna may undo Inter's good work. According to reports, Marco Di Vaio, the sports director of Rossoblu, is a huge fan of Bertola. In fact, he has often travelled to Serie B games to witness the Italian defence in action.
