According to Tuttomercato, the club's priority is to generate revenue from at least two transfers involving players from a group that includes Guarino, Elia, Shpendi, and Popov. Popov is currently participating in the Under 19 European Championship.

Bohdan Popov of Empoli has garnered interest from numerous Italian and foreign clubs, with several Serie A clubs having shown interest in him. According to TuttoMercatoWEB, several clubs from major European leagues have also made approaches for the young Ukrainian and are ready to compete with Serie A clubs to sign him. The final decision on Bohdan Popov's future will be made only after the World Cup. The choice will depend not only on the prestige of the destination but especially on the technical project and guarantees of playing time.

Various clubs in Italy and abroad have inquired about Bohdan Popov. Empoli's apparent intention is to rely on him for the future, unless there are irresistible offers. Former Ukrainian national team striker Voronin also spoke about Popov, advising that he has enormous potential but needs to find his team.

The agent Andrei Golovash stated: "There have been calls, but I repeat that I am giving a realistic assessment of the situation and consider it part of the process of formation and development of a football player. Today he is a player of Empoli." Serie A has already taken notes, according to the agent. The 18-year-old Ukrainian forward's contract with Empoli runs until June 30, 2028, and his valuation on Transfermarkt is €600k.
