Alessandro Zanoli Edges Closer To Udinese Transfer From Napoli

Alessandro Zanoli is set to join Udinese from Napoli in a deal worth €5 million, plus another €1 million in add-ons according to a recent report. The final approval from Napoli is the only step left. This transfer could change both teams as they get ready for the new Serie A season.

UDINESE NEAR COMPLETION OF ZANOLI DEAL

Udinese and Napoli have agreed on a €5 million fee for the 24-year-old defender. Only final confirmation from Napoli is left before the transfer is done. Zanoli spent last season on loan at Genoa, playing 33 matches and scoring one goal with one assist.

He can play as a full-back, winger, or even in central defense. Udinese reached a deal before, but Zanoli was considering offers from other clubs. Now, the transfer seems almost done, and Udinese is set to add a versatile player to their defense.

IMPACT ON UDINESE AND NAPOLI

Udinese finished last Serie A season just above relegation, ending 17th. According to recent updates, they narrowly avoided demotion last year, making Zanoli’s arrival a strategic move for their defense as they aim to recover from a tough season.

Napoli, meanwhile, is changing this summer. Zanoli’s move frees up space for other wide players. Napoli is hoping to bounce back after a successful season last year, and their main focus is now on bolstering their offensive options after several signings and departures in recent weeks.

WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT

Once Napoli gives the green light, Zanoli will complete his move and join Udinese training. Udinese play Inter Milan away this weekend, after drawing their Serie A opener to Hellas Verona last weekend, another club that narrowly avoided relegation last year. Zanoli’s arrival shows Udinese wants to strengthen their team and avoid another tense season near relegation.
