Done Deal: Ostigard ready for Genoa return from Rennes

Leo Ostigard is reportedly returning to Genoa, on loan with option to buy from Stade Rennes, after leaving Serie A in 2024. According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, a deal has been reached and he will be in Italy on Sunday for his medical tests. Their first choice had been Jay Idzes, but Venezia were reportedly asking for €10m to sell, which made Genoa turn back towards Ostigard instead. Genoa look to Ostigard again WOLFSBURG, GERMANY – MAY 09: Leo Ostigard of TSG Hoffenheim looks on during the Bundesliga match between VfL Wolfsburg and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at Volkswagen Arena on May 09, 2025 in Wolfsburg, Germany. (Photo by) The Norway international had already worn the Grifone jersey for six months in 2022 when he was on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion. He made 15 appearances for the club, scoring one goal and receiving two red cards. Ostigard remained in Serie A after that, as Brighton sold him to Napoli for €5.5m and he helped them win the Serie A title before moving on to Stade Rennes in 2024. The central defender spent the last six months on loan at TSG Hoffenheim in Germany. Between Genoa and Napoli, he has made 46 Serie A appearances during his playing career and will now return to Italian football for the 2025-26 campaign.

Young Striker Hoping To Become Rare Success Story From Inter Milan Academy

Striker Francesco Pio Esposito is hoping to become a rare thing – a major success story from Inter Milan's youth academy. This according to to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews. Francesco Pio Esposito will become part of Inter Milan's senior squad next season. Having joined the Nerazzurri youth academy at the age of thirteen, Pio Esposito starred at several youth team levels. Then, he spent the last two seasons on loan with Spezia. And it was last campaign that the young striker really broke through. He managed to score nineteen goals for Spezia, nearly firing the Ligurians to promotion from Serie B. Therefore, it was little surprise that virtually every club in Serie A was interested in signing Pio Esposito this summer. Naturally, Inter considered loaning Pio Esposito out. A stint with a team in the top flight would ensure regular playing time and the opportunity for the 20-year-old to develop. But in the end, that is not the route that Inter took. Francesco Pio Esposito Hoping To Become Rare Inter Youth Academy Success Story SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 24: Francesco Pio Esposito of FC Internazionale faces the media during the Training/Press Conference ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match between FC Internazionale Milano and CA River Plate at Virginia Mason Athletic Center on June 24, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) The Nerazzurri will give Pio Esposito a place in their senior team next season. This follows the impressive exploits that the 20-year-old showed at the Club World Cup. That proved to be a kind of trial run for him in an Inter shirt. As the Corriere della Sera note, Pio Esposito is hardly going to be a first-choice starter for Inter. However, the Italy Under-21 international will certainly get his chances to play. And furthermore, the fact that Pio Esposito does not use up a slot in Inter's Champions League squad due to coming through the youth academy can be very useful. And the 20-year-old has the chance to really make his mark on the senior team in a way that almost no youth academy graduates have in recent years. Federico Dimarco, of course, has been a major success story. However, he needed to find his feet in a number of loan spells first. Meanwhile, the closest precedent for Pio Esposito as a striker would probably be Mario Balotelli.
