Empoli have secured the return of midfielder Youssef Maleh from Lecce on a loan deal with an option to purchase. The 25-year-old Moroccan midfielder is set to rejoin the team for the upcoming season under the guidance of coach Roberto D’Aversa.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how Maleh previously played for Empoli last season, also on loan from Lecce, and his return is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the squad. The deal allows Empoli to evaluate Maleh’s performance and potentially make the transfer permanent, depending on his contributions to the team.
This transfer marks a significant step for Empoli as they prepare for the challenges of the new season, aiming to build on their previous performances with a bolstered midfield lineup. Maleh’s return is expected to bring experience and versatility to the team’s roster.
