Inter Milan To Extend Contract Of Young Nigerian Star & Send Him Out On Loan To Pisa
This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.
20-year-old midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro spent last season on loan with Sampdoria.
The Nigerian joined the Ligurians on loan last summer. This is is first regular experience in senior football.
Akinsanmiro had previously impressed in Inter's Under-19 or Primavera team. This had earned him some matchday squad appearances last season, and a cameo substitute appearance against Lecce.
Inter had beaten the likes of Real Madrid and Benfica to Akinsanmiro's signature.
However, prior to this season the priority was to get Akinsanmiro regular playing time.
Therefore, Sampdoria emerged as the ideal destination for the 20-year-old to start finding his feet in the senior game.
Pisa Keen On Inter Midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro
Inter Milan are now considering what comes next for Akinsanmiro.
The first order of business will be addressing the 20-year-old's contract situation.
As things stand, Akinsanmiro's deal with Inter runs out at the end of next June. Therefore, the Nerazzurri will look to secure the Nigerian's future with a new deal.
Akinsanmiro could put pen to paper on a new deal until the end of June 2029.
Then, Inter will look to send Akinsanmiro out on another loan.
This time around, though, the 20-year-old could be ready for Serie A rather than another spell in the second division.
According to Tuttosport, Inter are ready to loan Akinsanmiro to newly-promoted Pisa.

Pre-season continues
Saturday, 26 July, was another busy day for our Men's First Team at the Training Center. Having returned to work on Thursday, the Bianconeri were out for their third straight day to start the weekend. Split into two groups, the morning was dedicated to gym work indoors before the guys headed out onto the pitch for some defensive drills. In the afternoon, the focus shifted to possession work and the session ended with the usual small-sided matches. Sunday, 27 July, sees the Bianconeri back on the pitch for another double session, with the first pre-season friendly against Reggiana following just six days later. That friendly will be played at the Training Center on 2 August behind closed doors, but it will be shown live on DAZN.

Como patron Suwarso on Champions League ambition, Fabregas and Messi dream
Como patron Mirwan Suwarso feels the club is on a 'natural process' towards the Champions League with Cesc Fabregas and admits Lionel Messi would be 'a dream' signing. The team went bankrupt in 2017 and had to start from scratch in Serie D, then was taken over by SENT Entertainment and Djarum in April 2019. They invested heavily and helped Como move all the way up to the top flight after a 21-year absence, securing mid-table comfort in their debut campaign. The ambition doesn't stop here, as the Lariani are targeting even more prestigious objectives, like qualifying for the Champions League. Como aiming for top four in Serie A COMO, ITALY – JULY 18: Head coach Como Cesc Fabregas reacts during the friendly match between Como and Lille at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on July 18, 2025 in Como, Italy. (Photo by) 'It is not an obsession, we want it to be a natural process,' Como chief Suwarso told La Stampa newspaper via Tuttomercatoweb. 'Atalanta and Bologna set the example, and in the long run we will reduce our investment, making sure it is a sustainable project. 'In Italy you have three different leagues in one: the six best teams, those in mid-table and the others at the bottom.' Among the signs of Como's strength was the ability to resist pressure from Inter and Bundesliga clubs to keep hold of coach Fabregas. 'My rapport with Cesc is excellent, we believed straight away in his vision and status as a great coach. We asked him to improve us not only on the field, but also in terms of mentality. He helped define our identity. 'There were no meetings in June, just a lot of rumours that we laughed off. He spoke to other clubs, but it was just a routine conversation.' FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA – MAY 28: Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF celebrates with teammates scoring his team's fourth goal during the MLS match between Inter Miami CF and CF Montréal at Chase Stadium on May 28, 2025 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. (Photo by) Como have made it a habit of inviting big stars into the stands to watch their games, and the most recent figures spotted at the Stadio Sinigaglia were Messi's family. This and the long-standing friendship between Fabregas and his former Barcelona teammate pointed towards a possible shock Serie A move for the Argentine legend, who is in MLS with Inter Miami FC. 'The Messi family were guests of Fabregas and his wife. It would be a dream for him to come here, but why would he leave behind all the money he is earning now? Besides, we have not had any contact with him,' concluded Suwarso.

Torino swoop for Aboukhlal and ask after Elmas too
Torino are expected to complete their swoop for Toulouse attacking winger Zakaria Aboukhlal and also enter talks for Eljif Elmas of RB Leipzig. The Granata sent director of sport Davide Vagnati out to Germany today to attend the pre-season friendly match between Toulouse and RB Leipzig in Villingen-Schwenningen. According to multiple sources including Alfredo Pedullà and Sky Sport Italia, this was to hold negotiations with both clubs. Torino interest in Aboukhlal and Elmas PARMA, ITALY – MARCH 08: Eljif Elmas of Torino competes for the ball with Nahuel Estévez of Parma calcio during the Serie A match between Parma and Torino at Stadio Ennio Tardini on March 08, 2025 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) The primary target for discussion was Aboukhlal, who notably was not even named on the bench for Toulouse this afternoon. The 25-year-old is a Morocco international, but he was born and raised in the Netherlands, so is available on an EU passport. He made the move from AZ Alkmaar to Toulouse in 2022 for €2m and is into the final months of his contract, making him an affordable prospect. The offer on the table is reported to be worth €8m plus add-ons. He scored seven goals and provided four assists in 26 Ligue 1 appearances last season. Meanwhile, Sportitalia report that Torino are also approaching RB Leipzig for Elmas, who spent the last six months on loan with the Granata and would be eager for a return to Serie A.
