Udinese sends Iker Bravo, Martin Payero and Jordan Zemura to Watford

Udinese confirmed the permanent transfer of Iker Bravo to English club Watford, completing the trio of moves linking the two clubs. The Argentine forward's deal was announced on the same day as his teammate Martin Payero passed his medical examination with Watford, where the transfer is valued at around €4 million. A third player, Jordan Zemura, is also expected to complete his move to the Hornets for the 2026/27 season.

All three players were omitted from Udinese’s squad for the preseason training camp in Lienz, Austria, indicating the transfers are nearing finalisation. The moves reflect the ongoing partnership between Udinese and Watford, both owned by the Pozzo family.

These transfers strengthen Watford’s squad ahead of the next season while reducing Udinese’s roster as they reshape the team under coach Kosta Runjaic.
