According to Tuttomercato, Empoli are seeking a striker to replace the injured Pietro Pellegri, and 24-year-old Italian Luca Moro is one of the candidates. Despite the player having featured for only eighty-five minutes across nine appearances this season, his club Sassuolo appears unwilling to let him leave in the current transfer window. However, Empoli might still attempt to sign him in the coming hours. Moro, who has one cap for Italy's U21 side, has a contract with Sassuolo until June 2027 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €2.00m. Cesena has also been linked with the striker.
