Zaniolo Ignites the Transfer Market: Udinese Wants to Keep Him as Italy's Giants Watch Closely
Wednesday 15-04-2026
Nicolo Zaniolo has made a strong comeback this season with Udinese, as the club has successfully revitalized one of the most prominent talents in Italian football.

The player delivered an impressive performance, especially in the big win against Milan, confirming his return to form after years of inconsistency, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists in 28 matches.

Udinese has the option to permanently purchase Zaniolo from Galatasaray for just 9 million euros, an amount considered affordable. However, the main obstacle lies in his high salary of 3 million euros annually, especially since the Italian club is currently paying only a small portion of it during the loan period, with support from the Turkish club.

Zaniolo's performance has not only developed technically, but there has also been a clear improvement in his psychological and behavioral stability, which previously raised doubts among major clubs.

This shift has reignited the interest of the top Italian league clubs, with teams like Juventus, Napoli, Milan, and Inter closely monitoring his situation as they seek offensive reinforcements for the next season, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Despite Udinese's desire to retain the player and build a strong project around him, the allure of major clubs could complicate matters.

It is certain that Zaniolo has become an important target in the transfer market, with a clear inclination from the player to stay in Italy, paving the way for a hot summer that might see his move to one of the Serie A giants.
