Monza have reached an agreement with Serie A champions Inter Milan to sign Nigerian midfielder Ebenezer Akinsamiro on a permanent transfer.
According to reports, Inter will receive €7.5 million for the deal, along with a 10 percent sell-on clause on any future transfer.
The agreement does not include a buy-back clause, meaning the Nerazzurri have decided to part ways permanently with their academy product.
Akinsamiro also attracted interest from fellow Serie A side Bologna, as well as Bundesliga clubs Werder Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, but Monza have won the race for his signature.

Inter signed the 21-year-old from Nigeria Premier Football League side Remo Stars in January 2023. He made one Serie A appearance for the Nerazzurri during their title-winning campaign.
The defensive midfielder spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Sampdoria, where he scored once in 35 league appearances, before another loan spell at Pisa last season. He registered one assist in 25 league outings for the club.
Akinsamiro will now hope to establish himself as a regular in Serie A with Monza after gaining valuable experience through successive loan spells.
He was part of Nigeria’s Super Eagles squad to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

So far the Best News of this transfer Window along with Zadok for Brighton, Ben Frederick Promotion to Brentford First Team and Victor Boniface finding form again…
Fly high boys but this particular one sweet me wella! up Akinsamiro.. Great Move!!!!!..

Omo we deserve this NFF walahi!
We even deserve tinubu self…
No wonder they don’t take us serious whenever we complain of anything….
Smh….
BONIFACE??Are you kidding me?12 caps for the super eagles zero goals…Zero goals,zero assists in our failed world cup qualifier!He’s not made for the super eagles!Sorry!
@Greenturf I Boniface has learnt his lesson, he will not play with his chances at both club and country if given the opportunity, He saw how quickly he could lose his place in Club as he had already lost his place before his Injury at Leverkusen, Patrick Shick was already on the way to displacing, him. As well as losing his place in Super Eagles of course, he also witnessed the different trajectories of his colleagues at Leverkusen Wirtz and Frimpong especially compared to his, players who he was arguably just important if not more in that Leverkusen championship winning season, only Injury stopping his season and momentum. if he follows orders as that seems to be most Nigerian players biggest problem Discipline. he will do very well, As I am sure he has learnt his Place.
Oga we dont need boniface in the super eagles…
You lot should stop taking us back please!
The guy has exhausted all his chances in given to him…
I dont even like his dull physique and lazy kind of play as a striker…he is not sharp…
