Sergio Merlini — Empire FGA Bio Stub

This is a bio stub, not a graded Empire FGA profile. There is no video evidence behind this page — no OBI/SII, no core-12 sub-metrics, no ultProxy. Every field below comes from a single secondary source: the Solo Fútbol Guía 1986/87 preseason squad guide (Editorial Sineret S.A.). Facts (birthdates, birthplaces, squad listings) are reproduced directly since facts aren't copyrightable. Unlike the PC Fútbol-sourced 1997 bio stubs elsewhere on this platform, this source has no season match or goal data — it is a single preseason squad snapshot, not a stats database. There is accordingly no Trajectory table on this page; see "Squad Listing" below for the raw transcribed row instead.
