Newly promoted Serie B club Benevento is interested in Salvatore Elia, but they face competition from Palermo, where the 27-year-old Italian winger played in the 2022/23 season. The Sicilian club had previously attempted to sign him last summer before Empoli made a deal with Spezia. Pianetaempoli.it is reporting a potential return to Palermo for Elia, and clarifies that at the moment there are only exploratory inquiries rather than active negotiations. The player's future could also be influenced by potential corporate changes at Empoli, as he is considered a player who could be part of a financially beneficial operation for the club. Elia, who has two caps for the Italy U18 team, has a contract with Empoli until June 30, 2028, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.20m.
