Udinese is racing against the clock to secure Nicolò Zaniolo from Galatasaray before the midnight deadline. The club has until tonight to exercise their purchase option for the talented midfielder, who has shown impressive form during his time in Friuli. Although Udinese intends to finalize the transfer, they are still in discussions regarding Zaniolo's wages, which have yet to be fully agreed upon. According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, the initial wage structure was hastily arranged during the January transfer window, with both parties aware that further negotiations would be necessary. The club's strategy is to trigger the purchase option to secure Zaniolo's registration while continuing to negotiate the finer details of his contract in the following days. This unusual approach is a result of the circumstances surrounding the original agreement. For Zaniolo, the focus is on securing a salary that accurately reflects his market value after a standout season. For Udinese, the immediate priority is ensuring that he remains a part of their squad beyond tonight's deadline.
