Mi Sports: Inter Milan considered keeping Pio or bringing in Hoylen this summer, but Chivu advocated keeping Pio

October 14th According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, there was a behind-the-scenes story last summer that further proved the importance of Pio Esposito under Chivu.

In this summer, Inter Milan faces a choice: bet on Pio Esposito, or introduce Hoylen?

Chivu requested more time from the management, hoping to re-examine the young forward to decide whether to let him continue to rent out for another year, or to directly stay and develop him into a center that can be relied on. There is no need to go into details about what happened after that. It turns out that Chivu won the bet.

In the end, the direction of the transfer market was also affected by Chivu's ideas. Club president Marotta and sports director Ausilio also supported this idea.

Inter Milan did not force the introduction of Lookman. Part of the reason is also because of Pio, who has grown at an alarming rate. It is also due to the cooperation and contribution of teammate Boni on the offensive end.
