Mantova has joined Avellino and Frosinone in their interest in Empoli's 22-year-old Italian central midfielder Lorenzo Ignacchiti. The club is reportedly evaluating whether to submit an initial offer in the coming days to persuade Empoli. A final decision on the player's future could be influenced by Guido Pagliuca, who may return as the club's coach. Pagliuca considers Ignacchiti to be an important player, according to pianetaempoli.it, which could be a key factor in any potential move. Ignacchiti has six caps for the Italy U20 team and has a contract with Empoli until June 2028. His current market value is €1.60m, according to Transfermarkt. In his career, he has made 53 appearances in Serie B, providing 3 assists.
