Empoli Overview

Two significant contract renewals have been announced.

Phil Parkinson says Wrexham are "close" to sealing a couple of signings as they near a club-record transfer for Liberato Cacace.

Wrexham are on the verge of completing a record-breaking €2.5 million (£2.16m) deal for New Zealand international Liberato Cacace, with co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney green-lighting the ambitious move. The Empoli left-back is set to become the club’s most expensive signing, surpassing the £2 million the Red Dragons paid for Sam Smith in January.

Wrexham are reportedly set to seal a permanent transfer for New Zealand international Liberato Cacace from relegated Serie A side Empoli. The versatile defender is expected to move to the Welsh side for a base fee of €2.5 million (£2m/$3m), with additional bonuses attached, as revealed by Gianluca di Marzio.
