With three full seasons left on his existing contract, Empoli are in a demanding position regarding the asking price. Juventus are looking for reinforcements at the back, and the club would appear as the best option for Viti, who has also become a key cog for Italy U-21. With Giorgio Chiellini already gone, the Bianconeri are keen on strengthening the future of their backline. Inter and Sassuolo are two other clubs to have been linked with the left-footed youngster in previous weeks.
