“He’s Inter Milan’s” – Giuseppe Corrado on the Nigerian Midfielder’s Future and Pisa’s Ambitions.

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro on action for Pisa

Pisa president Giuseppe Corrado has laid his cards on the table: the Serie A newcomers are desperate to secure Ebenezer Akinsanmiro on a permanent basis. Yet, as he candidly admitted, Inter Milan retain ultimate control over the 21-year-old Nigerian’s destiny, Sportblits.com reports.

From Nigerian Academy to European Spotlight

Akinsanmiro arrived at Inter Milan’s academy in 2023 from Nigerian outfit Beyond Limits, and his development curve has been steep ever since. Despite steady progress, a senior-team breakthrough remains elusive.

Last season saw him loaned to Serie B side Sampdoria, where a solid campaign earned him a return to his parent club. This summer, however, Pisa, fresh from promotion to Serie A snapped him up on another season-long loan.

At Pisa, the midfielder has blossomed. Now a cornerstone of the squad, Akinsanmiro has sharpened his craft and cemented his status as one of the team’s most important players.

Can Pisa Make It Permanent?

The loan agreement, signed last summer, carries an option-to-buy clause that Pisa can trigger. The catch? Even if activated, Inter Milan wield a buyback clause, giving them the final word.

“Akinsanmiro is a strong player, he’s Inter Milan’s, but we have the right to buy him,” Corrado told Napoli Magazine after Sunday’s clash with Inter.
“Of course, Inter also have the option to buy him back, but he’s a player we believe has found the ideal place to grow at Pisa. We would have liked to have him.”

In short: Pisa can bid, but Inter can always reclaim their asset if his trajectory continues upward.

Injury Update & Return Date

Akinsanmiro has been sidelined for the past three weeks, missing Pisa’s last two fixtures. Fans can mark their calendars – he is expected back against Parma on December 8.
