According to reports from Tuttomercato, Empoli is showing interest in re-signing the Italian winger Federico Di Francesco, aged 31, from Palermo. The club is contemplating the return of Di Francesco, who is currently set to depart from Palermo after a season where he managed to score only once in 29 appearances. Di Francesco had a previous stint with Empoli during the 2021/22 season, on loan from SPAL, where he netted five goals across Serie A and the Coppa Italia, and notably became the club's 100th scorer in Serie A history. His potential return is anticipated to be well-received by fans and is expected to offer significant experience to coach Guido Pagliuca as the team aims for a comeback to Serie A. Despite his contract with Palermo running until June 2026, Di Francesco's market value is currently assessed at €900k by Transfermarkt.
