Outlook
With a Rating of 85.3, Esposito carries the 1st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A (top 10%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking.

Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
