Sassuolo will pay €1 million for Esposito immediately, and will have to pay €11 million (plus a 15% interest on the future resale price) if they choose to exercise their right to buy. Riccardo Ciervo, who Cagliari are also acquiring with an option to buy, is arriving in Sardinia to complete the loan swap .
