Udinese, an Italian football club, is prepared to part ways with their star player Rodrigo De Paulo for a 40 million euro transfer fee.
Rodrigo De Paul, the 26-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder, is generating a significant amount of interest from several top Italian clubs and one Spanish powerhouse.
De Paul, currently playing for a team that finished 14th in the Italian Championship last season, is not the player belonging to Juventus, as previously speculated. Instead, he has been a key player for his current team, contributing 7 goals and 6 assists in the 2019/2020 Serie A season.
The player, who was acquired by his current team from Valencia in 2016 for a modest β¬3 million, is considered Udinese's best player. However, it appears that Udinese is ready to let him go this summer, with reports suggesting an asking price of β¬40 million.
Juventus, Inter, Milan, Napoli, and many other clubs have shown interest in the talented midfielder. But it's AtlΓ©tico Madrid, not one of the Italian clubs, that is reportedly prepared to pay the hefty sum for De Paul's services.
The information about De Paul's potential transfer was provided by football-italia, citing Tuttosport. De Paul's transfer from Valencia to his current team in 2016 marked his entry into the Italian Championship, making him a player with some experience in the league.
De Paul, who plays as an attacking midfielder, has drawn attention for his impressive performances in the Italian Championship. His transfer from Valencia to his current team may seem like a bargain compared to the reported β¬40 million asking price.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the saga surrounding Rodrigo De Paul's future continues to unfold, with several clubs vying for the services of this talented Argentine midfielder.
