Empoli showed significant interest in Matteo Cancellieri but eventually signed Solbakken from Roma for the same position.

Empoli is very close to signing Matteo Cancellieri. Empoli had him last season and is ready to replicate the loan formula, negotiating conditions for a mandatory buy option.

Empoli is considering taking the player back after his loan period ended. The proposed deal includes a loan fee of 1 million EUR and an obligatory purchase of 9 million EUR.

Matteo Cancellieri has returned from loan at Empoli, which would like to take him back. However, they are not willing to spend 1 million for the loan and guarantee another 9 million for the buyout as demanded by Lotito.
