Alan Empereur

Early career

Empereur played for local clubs Associação Esportiva e Recreativa Usipa and Associação Atlética Aciaria. From there, he made the move to Atlético Mineiro's youth academy, where he played in the youth leagues and various cups. During a tournament in São Paulo in January 2007, he caught the attention of an agent, Camilo Abranches, who offered to take him to Italy to join the Fiorentina youth team. His Italian ancestry, through his paternal grandfather, allowed him to easily secure an Italian passport, facilitating the transition. At Fiorentina, he passed through the U15 and U17 squads before graduating to the Primavera (U19) team in 2010, where he made 59 league appearances in four seasons. He eventually rose to the position of captain, and regularly trained with the first team.

Empereur was loaned to Ischia in the third-tier Lega Pro in August. He made his debut on August 31, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 loss to Benevento. Ischia finished near the bottom of the table in his only season there, but Empereur was seen as one of the team's lone bright spots that year. On his return to Fiorentina…
