  "account": "Former Inter Milan forward Sebastiano Esposito has reportedly been offered to Lazio amid a disagreement with the club's president. The 24-year-old striker, who currently plays for Cagliari, is the middle child of three siblings who progressed through Inter Milan's youth system. His older brother, Salvatore, plays for Sampdoria, while the youngest, Francesco Pio, made a significant breakthrough in Serie A last season with Inter Milan.\n\nEsposito joined Cagliari last summer and had a successful debut campaign, leading to a permanent transfer for €4 million with Inter retaining a 40% share of the fee. However, the player recently fell out with Cagliari publicly. Cagliari accused the player of being absent without leave, while his agent claimed the head coach and sporting director had given him the green light to leave. Club president Tommaso Guilini is also under scrutiny for allegedly plotting to sell the attacker.\n\nFollowing this fallout, Esposito has been a target for Atalanta but no agreement has been reached. Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla notes that Lazio, who are seeking a different profile, have also shown interest in the Cagliari striker. Although Lazio aims to sign a centre-forward, they are considering Esposito as a second striker, despite his primary role being as a second striker or even as a No.9. The Biancocelesti's ultimate signing remains AC Milan striker Santiago Gimenez, but they are also pursuing other profiles like Benfica's Franjo Ivanovic and Fiorentina's Roberto Piccoli.",
