Empoli targets reinforcements for Serie B campaign

Empoli is preparing for the Serie B season under coach Guido Pagliuca, focusing on a strategy of integrating young players alongside experienced squad members. Recent market activity includes the arrivals of Distefano and Deli from Fiorentina, as well as the returns of Romagnoli and Belardinelli, and the addition of Zedadka from Südtirol.

The club is currently looking to strengthen its defense and attack. Potential targets include Pietrangeli from Südtirol for the defensive line and Zilli to bolster the forward positions, particularly if players like Popov or Shpendi are transferred.

Additionally, Empoli is monitoring Juventus Next Gen midfielder Nicolò Cudrig. The 2002-born player is viewed as a versatile option who could fit Pagliuca’s 3-5-2 system, offering tactical flexibility as a wing-back or a fifth midfielder due to his background as a former striker.
