Nicolo Zaniolo should be an Udinese player now after they agreed a deal to sign him from Galatasaray, but the attacker has not agreed personal terms with the Italian side, and as reported by Calciomercato, Juventus could swoop to sign him.
After spending last season on loan at Udinese and performing well as one of their most important players, Zaniolo was expected to complete a permanent move to the club.
Udinese negotiations and wage disagreement
Udinese have already agreed to pay €5 million to Galatasaray for his signature, but they have not been able to convince him to accept their contract offer.
The report states that Zaniolo earns €3 million at Galatasaray, while Udinese want to pay around €1.2 million, which he is currently unwilling to accept.
Juventus and AC Milan monitoring situation
This situation has opened the door for other clubs to become involved, with the report stating that Juventus and AC Milan are considering taking advantage.
Both clubs see him as a player who could improve their squads and may look to add his technical qualities in the coming weeks.
Zaniolo could also be open to joining either club, as both Juventus and AC Milan offer a higher level of competition and regular opportunities to play at the top level.
Udinese will continue to wait on the player’s decision, but the delay has increased uncertainty over his future despite the earlier agreement with Galatasaray.
Negotiations remain ongoing as clubs assess whether a revised offer or improved personal terms could resolve the situation in the coming weeks.
The outcome will depend on whether Udinese adjust their wage structure or whether a rival club steps forward with a more competitive proposal.
For now, the situation remains unresolved, with Zaniolo’s future still uncertain as interested clubs continue to monitor developments closely.
Any agreement will ultimately require alignment between all parties involved before a transfer can be completed.
