Cremonese and Südtirol were initially linked with Simone Rabbi, a 24-year-old Italian attacker, but interest from both clubs has reportedly cooled. He is becoming increasingly likely to leave Cittadella. According to Trivenetogoal.it, Empoli is monitoring his situation. Contact between the parties could intensify if the Tuscan club separates from Shpendi, which would require a new addition to their attack. Rabbi joined Cittadella in July 2024 and has a current market value of €450k, according to Transfermarkt. He has been capped three times for the Italy U18 team, scoring one goal.
