Oliver Abildgaard, a 29-year-old Danish midfielder currently playing for Como, is attracting interest from Empoli as they look to strengthen their midfield. Empoli's sporting director, Roberto Gemmi, is reportedly making efforts to secure a dependable option for coach Guido Pagliuca. Although Aljosa Vasic from Palermo is still considered the primary target, Empoli is exploring the possibility of acquiring Abildgaard as an alternative, given Palermo's reluctance to part with Vasic. Abildgaard, who has also been associated with Sampdoria recently, is recognized for his physicality and versatility, qualities that could enhance Empoli's midfield stability and coverage. Transfermarkt values the player at €1.00m, a significant decrease from his peak value of €7.50m in late 2021. As the transfer window approaches its crucial stage, Como may be open to either a sale or a loan with an option to buy, should an appealing proposal arise.
