Empoli is also looking to the future and continues to monitor young prospects. According to FirenzeViola, the blue club would be in pole position to secure the services of Cosimo Fiorini, midfielder born in 2006 currently playing for Zurich. Fiorini is a name known to insiders. Grown up in the youth sector of Fiorentina, where he often wore the captain's armband, in the summer of 2022 he had chosen to transfer to Switzerland to continue his growth path. After four seasons with the Swiss club, however, the young midfielder would be ready to return to Italy. Empoli has been following the player for some time and in recent weeks has intensified contacts to try to close the deal. In the last season, Fiorini collected 27 appearances with Zurich's Under 21 team, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists, confirming technical qualities and important growth margins. For Empoli, it would be a perfectly in line investment with the club's philosophy, always attentive to the valorization of young Italian talents. The negotiation is not yet defined, but the blue club appears to be in favor at the moment compared to the competition.
