Although Italian left-back Giulio Favale's contract with Padova runs until June 2027, his future at the club is uncertain. According to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, Empoli is monitoring the player, who was born in 1998, but has not yet made a decisive move. The same source notes that Catania was also interested in Favale, but their plans have been complicated. The club's failure to provide an additional guarantee of 2.7 million, which was due by a short extension on August 10, has limited their ability to operate freely in the transfer market. Favale joined Padova in September 2023 and, according to Transfermarkt, has a current market value of €250k. In his career, he has made 23 appearances in Serie B and over 200 in Serie C.
