Overview

• Udinese completed a €3m season-long loan for Nicolò Zaniolo that includes two end-of-season options: €5m with Galatasaray retaining 50% of any future sale or €10m for an outright purchase.
• Zaniolo passed his medical and was registered with Lega Serie A before the transfer window closed.
• FC Metz forward Idrissa Gueye arrived on loan with a conditional obligation to buy valued at €8–10m including add-ons, and his contract was filed in the final minutes.
• Defender Alessandro Zanoli joined permanently from Napoli for approximately €5.5–6m including add-ons, and he can play right-back, wing-back or centrally.
• Udinese previewed the business with a Zorro-style ‘Z’ teaser on their social channels referencing Zaniolo and Zanoli.
