Italian centre-back Simone Romagnoli, 36, will become a free agent as he will not renew his expiring contract with Empoli. The agreement concluded with no possibility for extension, after Romagnoli spent the last season on the periphery of Empoli's technical project, making only 3 appearances. His status as a free agent makes him a zero-cost transfer opportunity. Carpi has shown interest in Simone Romagnoli and is considering the economic feasibility of the operation. It is reported that Carpi is ready to present a concrete offer in the coming days to sign him ahead of competing clubs and bring Romagnoli back to the club. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €200k, and he has 6 caps for the Italy U21 team.
