Udinese-Watford player transfer partnership

Entities: Martín Payero · Maduka Okoye · Udinese Calcio · Egil Selvik · Watford FC

Overview

In late July 2026 Udinese confirmed a series of permanent moves to Watford, sending Argentine forward Iker Bravo, midfielder Martín Payero and defender Jordan Zemura to the English club. The transfers completed a trio of deals linking the two clubs, both owned by the Pozzo family, and were signalled by the players’ omission from Udinese’s preseason camp.

A week later Udinese announced the need to replace injured goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and targeted Watford’s Norwegian keeper Egil Selvik, proposing a possible swap that would send Federico Ravaglia to Watford. The same update reiterated Payero’s completed two‑year transfer to Watford, underscoring the ongoing player‑exchange relationship between the clubs.
