Not all networks are the same. Some remain in the collective memory for their aesthetic beauty, others for the speed of execution, still others for their specific weight. The goal scored in the 37th minute of the first half of the match between Cagliari and Turin with which Sebastiano Esposito kicked off the rossoblù's comeback certainly belongs to the latter. A turn from the edge of the area, a billiard shot into the corner pocket that paved the way for Mina's arrogance which earned them mathematical salvation. And, with his stay in Serie A, the obligation to redeem the former Inter player also began.
La stagione della maturità vale il riscatto
Giulini's plan to bring Sebastiano Esposito to Sardinia paid off. The class of 2002, in fact, stood out as the most precious gem in Mr. Pisacane's jewelry box, capable of scoring 7 goals and 5 assists which were fundamental to achieving the goal of salvation. A maturity finally achieved for a boy who in the past had proven to be far too inconsistent.
Now that the finish line has been passed, the automatic redemption. In this regard, there is talk of an obligation to pay 4 million euros into the coffers of Inter, the previous owner of the card, plus 40% of the future resale. All in all, a favorable price considering the prowess that Pio's brother showed on the pitch, but he was betting on a relaunch of the attacker.
La doppia vittoria di Inter e Cagliari
With hindsight, the move by Cagliari and Inter proved far-sighted. The Sardinians, in fact, were able to secure the performance of a modern attacker on whom they built their salvation. The money spent on his purchase has been well repaid by the results on the pitch and the player's market value has already tripled.
The Nerazzurri, however, certain of the boy's qualities, were able to count on the showcase offered by Unipol Domus to showcase the fruit of their youth sector, maintaining the possibility of monetizing in the event of a future transfer.
Il futuro di Esposito resta un'incognita
Esposito's farewell to Sardinia is not such a remote possibility. The great plays he showed, in fact, have attracted more teams, who can try the assault on Castellammare's talent. Naples, Lazio and Turin are the first of a long list of interested parties, who will have to prepare for an auction. The words of president Giulini were clear: "overall I think that he is not a player who can be worth less than Piccoli, I don't think that such high offers will arrive in this market and therefore I believe he will remain with us".
The price, therefore, is set: 25 million plus bonuses, or Sebastiano Esposito will continue his career on the island where he reached his definitive maturity.
