What is behind Milanโ€™s interest in Nicolo Zaniolo amidst Udinese chaos

Earlier this week, Serie A side Udinese exercised their option to sign Nicolo Zaniolo permanently. But this hasnโ€™t ruled out the Italianโ€™s exit from the Friulian side.

This is mainly because the attackerโ€™s entourage has tried to negotiate a new contract immediately. His deal runs out in 2027 and to seek a wage deserving of his impact in the side, his agent held talks with Udinese over a renewal on better terms.

This hasnโ€™t worked out. Tuttomercatoweb report that Zaniolo can now leave Udinese on a permanent basis.

Milan and Como are most interested in the winger and can make a move. These are opportunities Zaniolo would be interested in exploring and is considering a Udinese exit himself.

It is believed this could also be a chance for him to return to the fray for the Italian national team.

Pressure on Udinese

Clearly, this is one way of putting pressure on Udinese to renew Zanioloโ€™s contract. Milan could be keeping an eye on the player but this doesnโ€™t them or Como will make a formal use. Zanioloโ€™s entourage is using that to their advantage.

Udinese however, can make a profit from his sale. They are no strangers to that and shouldnโ€™t mind an exit, if the right money is offered.
