Nicolo Zaniolo is the icing on the cake of Udinese’s transfer window.
He is a player that combines creativity, quality and strength, which makes him a great asset for the team’s defence: he is one of the best Italian footballers of his generation.
This is a major signing for Udinese, considering the player’s status and the competition that the club had to outperform to secure the player.

Zaniolo is joining the team on loan until 30 June 2026 with the option to buy from Galatasaray. 
He is the present and the future of Italian football, a player who has gained extensive experience: he played in the youth teams of Fiorentina and Inter, then for Roma, and then abroad in the Premier League for Aston Villa, as well as Atalanta, Fiorentina and, as has already been said, Galatasaray.
Thanks to his talent he debuted for the Italian national team – where he has collected 19 appearances – at the age of 19, in March 2019, at Bluenergy Stadium: the match was Italy v Finland, which ended 2-0.Now our stadium is ready to welcome him and get fired up watching him play.
He is going to wear Udinese’s iconic number 10 shirt.

Welcome, Nicolo!
