Empoli eyeing Ivorian defender Koffi Djidji to strengthen squad
Italian Serie A side Empoli is reportedly in talks to sign Franco-Ivorian defender Koffi Djidji as part of efforts to bolster their squad for the second half of the 2024/25 season.
The 32-year-old defender, renowned for his composure on the ball and solid defensive capabilities, has attracted Empoli’s interest following the end of his contract with Torino. Djidji spent five successful seasons with Torino, where his consistent performances and ability to read the game established him as a dependable figure in their defense.
With Empoli seeking reinforcements, Djidji’s familiarity with Serie A and its tactical demands makes him an ideal candidate. The defender’s experience, coupled with his versatility, is seen as a valuable asset for a team looking to solidify their backline and improve their standings in the league.
A potential move to Empoli would mark Djidji’s return to the Italian top flight, a prospect that could appeal to the seasoned defender as he evaluates his next career step.
While negotiations are ongoing, Empoli’s pursuit of Djidji underscores their commitment to fortifying their squad as they prepare for the challenges of the season’s second phase.
The next couple of weeks will provide clarity on the transfer.
