Empoli is attempting to secure Christian Kouame on loan from Fiorentina. Negotiations are in progress, and it was anticipated that Kouame's agent, Minieri, would be at Viola Park, but the meeting was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. Fiorentina is demanding at least 7 million euros for Kouame's transfer, while Empoli is only able to propose a loan arrangement, possibly with an option to buy. The motivation to acquire Kouame is partly due to Empoli's need to bolster their attack after Pietro Pellegri's significant injury. Nevertheless, Empoli is facing competition from Torino, who could suggest a swap deal involving Antonio Sanabria, as well as interest from Cagliari, Genoa, Venezia, and Parma.
