Christian Kabasele Signs New Udinese Contract Until 2026

Udinese have signed a new contract with experienced defender Christian Kabasele. The deal runs until June 2026, and the club can extend it for another season.

According to a previous report, Christian Kabasele‘s new contract with Udinese can be extended for another year beyond June 2026.

KABASELE EXTENDS HIS STAY

Kabasele’s old contract ended last week. After discussions with club management and head coach Kosta Runjaic, he agreed to a new deal. The 34-year-old will stay in Udine for at least one more year. The Belgian centre-back made 25 league appearances in the 2024/25 season, providing valuable experience and stability as the team finished 15th in the league table.

According to a previous report, Udinese finished 15th in Serie A during the 2024/25 season.

EXPERIENCE KEY FOR UDINESE SQUAD

Udinese wanted to keep Kabasele because he is valuable both on and off the pitch. As a veteran, he mentors younger defenders and helps the team strive for better results. Under Runjaic, Udinese hopes to build a solid defensive foundation and move up in the Serie A standings. Kabasele’s leadership and understanding of the game are important to strengthening the club’s position in Italy’s top flight.

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT SEASON

Udinese are getting ready for the new Serie A campaign and want a strong start. The season opener is in August, and the team hopes to close the gap with those above them in the standings. Having Kabasele on the team means relying on his experience in key matches, especially as they face tough opponents early in the season. Kabasele’s presence should help keep the team defensively organized as they aim for a top-half finish in the coming months.

According to a previous report, Christian Kabasele helped Udinese stay out of the relegation zone in the 2024/25 season.
