Udinese thought they had Nicolo Zaniolo locked down for the long haul, tying him to a new deal until 2029 just this summer. But apparently, Ajax didn’t get the memo, because they are already making serious moves for the Italian attacker, eyeing him as the perfect replacement for Mika Godts.
The Udinese Rollercoaster
Man, Zaniolo’s summer has been a wild ride, hasn’t it? He only just joined the Friulian side permanently. Then he was pushing hard for better contract terms, which honestly, who isn’t? Udinese stepped up and eventually got him to sign on the dotted line with a sweet new deal. You’d think that would be the end of it for a while, right? A permanent move, a new contract, settled. Nope. The ink is barely dry and now we hear Ajax is sniffing around.
Ajax Pounces as Godts Exits
It’s all happening because Mika Godts is officially on his way to Paris Saint-Germain, leaving a hole Ajax needs to fill. And according to Tuttomercatoweb, they’ve landed on Zaniolo as their guy. They’ve already gathered information on him and have even made initial contact for his possible signature. This isn’t just some casual interest; Ajax is moving fast. They clearly see something special in Zaniolo that makes them disregard his fresh Udinese contract.
A move to Ajax would be huge for Zaniolo, letting him play in Europe again and showing just how much he’s improved at Udinese. This guy is no stranger to fancy adventures abroad, either, having already had spells in England and Turkey. So, will Udinese hold firm on their newly secured asset, or will Ajax’s pursuit be too much to ignore? This is a situation absolutely worth keeping an eye on, even with that 2029 contract.
