Gilardino, Empoli coach Martusciello: "He has issued a demand to the owners"

Alberto Gilardino's Empoli coach Martusciello spoke after his team beat Palermo, and spoke about the situation, one that's resolution is now appearing clear: that the one-time Azzurri striker will leave the club. "Gilardino didn't get picked because he picked up an injury during the week, but there's no use in hiding anything. He has issued a demand to the owners. We'll be talking more specifically about the situation later this week." It's very likely that his next stop in Serie A will be with Pescara - Monday there is an important meeting scheduled to take place.
