Empoli left-back Cacace on verge of Wrexham transfer

After links with Lecce, Cremonese and Pisa, Wrexham confirm they are close to signing Empoli defender Liberato Cacace.

The 24-year-old is a New Zealand international of obvious Italian origins who has been at Empoli since leaving VV Sint-Truiden in January 2022.

His departure seemed likely after relegation to Serie B and the fact his contract only runs to June 2026.

Numerous clubs were mentioned as options for the left-back, including current top flight Italian sides Lecce, Cremonese and Pisa.
