According to PianetaEmpoli, Cagliari are among several clubs that have shown interest in Empoli's 22-year-old Italian defender, Gabriele Guarino. The report also indicates that Bologna, Torino, and Palermo have expressed interest in the player. Guarino is anticipated to be a prominent name during the summer transfer window following his performances last season, in which he made 35 appearances in Serie B, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. While Empoli would reportedly prefer to retain him, there is a growing belief that he may leave the club, as he is considered one of the players receiving the most interest in the current squad. Guarino, who has 4 caps for the Italy U21 team, is under contract until June 2026 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €3.50m.
