Empoli is reportedly interested in acquiring Sergi Dominguez on loan to strengthen their defense. The player, born in 2005, has already made his debut in LaLiga with Barcelona, playing three games this season, including two as a starter. Empoli's goal is to have Dominguez available for their new coach Guido Pagliuca, who has recently signed a two-year contract, to enhance the squad's efforts to return to the top tier. Dominguez, who joined Barcelona's youth academy at the age of 15, has played a total of six matches for Barcelona's first team, along with five appearances in the Youth League. He has also participated in 41 matches for Barcelona B, scoring once, and is a member of Spain's youth national teams, having earned three caps for the Under 19 squad.
