Reliable reports are saying that Nicolo Zaniolo is in talks with Udinese after Galatasaray reached an initial agreement for the midfielder. The proposed move has moved a step closer, with personal terms currently being negotiated between club and player. Final confirmation is still pending but momentum is clearly building and there is optimism that a deal will be struck in the coming days. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Udinese appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. In season 25/26, Udinese are conceding 1.6 goals per game (8 in 5 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Nicolo Zaniolo would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Alongside this, Galatasaray are said to be exploring Senne Lammens, Wilfried Stephane Singo and Manuel Akanji with Udinese likewise connected to Alessandro Zanoli.
