Melbourne Victory can confirm the departure of Sebastian Esposito.
The 21-year-old defender returns to his parent club Lecce following the expiry of his season-long loan.
During 2025/26, Esposito made 24 Isuzu UTE A-League appearances and scored two goals.
Melbourne Victory Director of Football, John Didulica, commented:
“Sebastian was a fantastic contributor last season, and it was reaffirming to see his growth as a player and leader within our environment.
“We wish him nothing but the best in his return to Europe and know he has a great career ahead of him.”
