Udinese trequartista Lazar Samardzic impressed more than most in his second Udinese campaign last season, appearing incessantly for the Friuli in 39 caps across all competitions. The Serbian has three options on the table, with Inter being the most recent club linked to open talks.
According to Calciomercato, new Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and manager Max Allegri have identified Samardzic as an objective to strengthen the Bianconeri midfield. Having recently joined the team of agent Rafaela Pimenta, the Hertha Berlin youth product has popped up on the radar of several top Serie A clubs, including Roma, Milan, and Napoli.
The Scudetto holders in particular have already established first contacts with the player’s entourage, given the insecurity surrounding Piotr Zielinski’s future. Meanwhile, Tiago Pinto and Roma have taken interest in Samardzic as a direct alternative for ex-Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi.
Udinese will accept nothing less than €25-30M for Samardzic, who is now more likely than ever to leave the Friulani for a bigger club.
