Footy-Africa can report that Nigerian midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro continues to attract interest from several clubs following his impressive performances for Pisa.
The young midfielder’s future has been a major talking point in recent weeks, with Pisa reportedly keen on signing him permanently after a successful loan spell.
Akinsanmiro is currently owned by Inter Milan, the club that signed him from former Nigerian champions Remo Stars before loaning him to Pisa. Pisa, however, hold an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season, although Inter have retained a buy-back clause in the agreement.
While a permanent move to Pisa has been strongly discussed in recent weeks, Footy-Africa understands that Bologna and other clubs abroad are also monitoring the player’s situation closely.

Akinsanmiro and his representatives are expected to make a decision on his future in the coming weeks, with the player’s development remaining the top priority. His next club must align with his long-term career vision.
A return to Inter Milan is also a possibility, but only if there is a clear pathway for his continued development, as it remains uncertain whether he would receive adequate playing time in a midfield filled with experienced players.
Akinsanmiro has made significant strides this season, featuring in 22 matches in the Italian top flight, including 13 starts. His performances also earned him a place in Nigeria’s squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recently, Akinsanmiro’s agent, Crescenzo Cecere, revealed that the player has no shortage of offers and is expected to decide on his next destination soon.
“He’s made a great step forward with Pisa. The club’s season was disappointing, but from a personal standpoint, the boy can be satisfied. There are many teams interested, and we’ll evaluate everything in due course. There’s no shortage of inquiries,” he said.
