Nicolò Zaniolo in talks to extend his contract with Udinese
According to Sacha Tavolieri, Udinese has officially communicated their interest in Nicolò Zaniolo, while Gianluca Di Marzio reports that discussions to adjust his contract are underway.
The future of Nicolò Zaniolo hangs in the balance as Udinese Calcio has officially confirmed their interest in the Italian player, according to Sacha Tavolieri. At 27 years old, Zaniolo, who plays as a second striker, has been a key asset for the club, with a market value estimated at €15 million.
Zaniolo, who joined Udinese after a successful stint at Galatasaray, currently has a contract that runs until June 30, 2029. However, reports indicate that his current salary of €1.2 million may not suffice, and negotiations have begun to adjust his compensation to a range of €1.8 to €2 million per year.
Gianluca Di Marzio has added that a meeting will take place today between Zaniolo's agents and Udinese management, aiming to reach an agreement on the new contract after several prior attempts. The situation is delicate, as Di Marzio notes, "any moment can be good to find a solution, but under the current conditions, it is impossible to think of an agreement."
Additionally, Nicolò Schira complements the information by indicating that, without an agreement on the salary adjustment, the player may seek alternatives. The pressure is on, and resolving this matter could mark a crucial turning point in the future of the talented forward.
