After moving in the summer to Sampdoria in the cadet tournament, former Juventus goalkeeper Marco Silvestri moved back to Serie A settling at Empoli on a permanent basis. As a technical quid pro quo to the Blucerchiati, Friulian goalkeeper Samuele Perisan, who grew up in the Friulian club’s Youth Sector, moved on loan. The 33-year-old Silvestri made 94 appearances with the Udinese shirt.
This is the Empoli statement:
