According to information gathered by TuttoMercatoWeb.com, Empoli is monitoring 28-year-old Italian Giulio Favale but has not yet made a decisive move for the Padova player. Catania was also interested in the left-sided player, whose contract runs until June 2027, but their plans were complicated by a failure to present a required financial guarantee, which has restricted their market activity. Favale joined Padova in September 2023. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €250k.
