Empoli are facing the risk of losing several of their linchpins in the summer. Similarly to Sassuolo, the top Serie A sides are keenly watching their talents, and a few of them will depart. The Azzurri will start negotiating with the suitors once they are sure to have avoided relegation.
According to La Repubblica, Nedim Bajrami will likely be their most profitable piece since he is on the radar of multiple sides. Milan showed some interest, but they are currently focusing on other targets. Lazio, Verona, and Fiorentina recently reached out to inquire about his price tag. The 23-year-old has logged 6 goals and 5 assists in 30 Serie A appearances this season.
Kristjan Asllani landed on the radar of Milan and Inter once he became a regular following the departure of Samuele Ricci. Atalanta and Bologna were already after him when he was a Primavera star. In this case, Empoli might sell him and keep him for another season. The same goes for Mattia Viti, who is being targeted primarily by Inter and La Dea. The management of the former offered €13M in January, proposing to let him finish the season on loan. They will make another attempt in the summer.
Left-back Fabiano Parisi is in high demand as well. Lazio and Napoli are pursuing him with the most intensity. The Biancocelesti will seek a specialist in the role, and he would be a cheaper alternative to Emerson Palmieri. The Partenopei will seriously consider him if Mario Rui left.
