Inter Milan’s young Nigerian talent, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro has received a major promotion from head coach Simone Inzaghi as he gears up to train with the first team for the forthcoming Serie A season.
The exciting development comes as a pleasant surprise, as previous plans to send Akinsanmiro on loan have been scrapped by the Italian giants. This decision reflects the club’s high regard for the player’s abilities and potential.
At just 18 years old, Akinsanmiro has already made quite an impression since joining Inter Milan from Nigeria Premier League side Remo Stars in January 2023. His swift adaptation to the youth team and stellar performances in the U-19 squad have earned him recognition and a spot among the first-team players. With his undeniable talent and dedication, it is believed that Akinsanmiro will require little time to establish himself in the highly competitive Serie A.
In a show of their commitment to his development, Inter Milan has deemed Akinsanmiro non-transferable despite receiving numerous requests from other clubs. The club is eager to nurture his skills further and build on the progress he has already shown.
The young midfielder is set to embark on an exciting journey with Inter Milan, as they prepare for two high-profile matches in Japan. Akinsanmiro is expected to feature in the squad that will travel to Osaka to face former Asian champions, Al Nassr. Following this encounter, on August 1, the team will go head-to-head against French champions PSG in Tokyo.
These matches will provide Akinsanmiro with valuable experience and an opportunity to showcase his abilities on a bigger stage.
With his current contract running until the summer of 2026, Akinsanmiro has a bright future ahead of him at Inter Milan. The club’s decision to fast-track his progression to the first team indicates their confidence in his potential to make a significant impact.
As fans eagerly anticipate his debut, the Nigerian prodigy’s impressive performances thus far have solidified his chances of securing a regular place in the first team for the upcoming season.
