Esposito enjoyed a remarkable breakout season at Spezia last term.
Indeed, he netted 19 goals in Serie B, helping the Aquilotti secure a place in the promotion playoffs.
However, Spezia's loss to Cremonese in the semi-finals spelled the end of Esposito's adventure at Stadio Alberto Picco.
Although many expected the teenage sensation to leave Inter for regular first-team action, Chivu has other plans.

Instead of departing for another loan, Esposito will fight for his place at San Siro after impressing the ex-Parma coach.
He scored in his first start for Inter last night as Chivu's side dispatched River Plate 2-0 at the FIFA Club World Cup.

How much Chelsea will earn from Anjorin sale to Torino
How much Chelsea will earn from Anjorin sale to Torino More details are emerging on the Torino agreement for Tino Anjorin, as Empoli must give 40 per cent of the €5m fee to his old club Chelsea. As reported last night, the deal is done to snap up both Anjorin and his Empoli teammate Ardian Ismajli, who is a free agent after his contract was allowed to run down. Advertisement Sky Sport Italia now clarify that Torino are going to pay circa €5m to buy the attacking midfielder.

(Photo by) Empoli are still making a healthy profit, but as part of the agreement that saw them snap up the player last year for free, they will owe his former club Chelsea a 40 per cent cut of the fee. That means the Tuscans are set to pocket €3m and Chelsea will get €2m from the sale. A product of the Chelsea youth academy, Anjorin also played for Lokomotiv Moscow, Huddersfield and Portsmouth before moving to Italy. He scored two goals with three assists in 22 Serie A games this season, but could not prevent Empoli's relegation. The English player is seen as the heir to Milan-bound Samuele Ricci.

Juventus dealt bitter injury blow ahead of Real Madrid showdown
Real Madrid take on Juventus in their Club World Cup round of 16 tie on Monday, and they have been handed a boost ahead of that match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Xabi Alonso's side have had a solid tournament thus far, with wins against Pachuca and RB Salzburg, as well as a draw against Al Hilal. And they will be favourites to defeat Juventus and book their place in the quarter-finals, where they would face Borussia Dortmund or Sergio Ramos' Monterrey. Juventus to be without key defender against Real Madrid And Real Madrid's hopes of progression look to have been given a small, with MD reporting that Juventus will be without Nicolo Savono for the remainder of the Club World Cup. Nicolo Savona was injured against Manchester City (Image via Getty Images) Advertisement Savona suffered an ankle injury during Juventus' 5-2 defeat to Manchester City earlier this week, and the Italians have announced that 'diagnostic tests revealed a high-grade capsule ligamentous injury.' He is expected to miss two months, meaning that he would be absent for the start of the new Serie A season in August. Savona started all three of Juventus' matches in the Club World Cup group stages, but he will not be available against Real Madrid. It is a big blow for head coach Igor Tudor, who will have to turn to Gleison Bremer or Daniele Rugani instead. This news on Savona coincides with positive injury news for Real Madrid, with it looking increasingly likely that Kylian Mbappe will return for the round of 16 showdown in Miami. The Frenchman missed all three of Los Blancos' group stage matches due to illness, but he is back in training. Xabi Alonso is hopeful of having him available to face Juventus, although he would not be risked as a starter due to a lack of match sharpness.
