Zaniolo contract talks stall as Udinese negotiations drag on

Udinese midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo remains without a new contract as his agent Claudio Vigorelli told Sky Sport that no agreement has been reached. The club officially owns his rights after a €5 million buy‑out from Galatasaray, but the player is reportedly seeking a higher salary and a transfer fee of around €20 million. Clubs reportedly monitoring the situation include Lazio, AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli, all weighing options as the July 1 deadline approaches.

At the same time, Udinese defender Oumar Solet’s possible move to Inter Milan has stalled; Inter’s offer of about €20 million was deemed insufficient and talks have stopped. Atletico Madrid is also watching the Solet situation, potentially prompting Inter to revisit its bid. The broader Udinese transfer saga sees multiple Serie A and foreign clubs interested while the club seeks to capitalise on its assets.

Overall, the unresolved negotiations keep both players in the spotlight as the summer window progresses, with their future destinations still uncertain.
