Udinese resist offers for Udogie but buy Buta for the left wing

UDINE. Often two or more clues do not give a test in the transfer market, but they help to orientate on the possible developments and the folds that can take certain business.

The premise serves to relate the insistent rumors that concern Destiny Udogiethe class of 2002 for which the line of suitors is forming outside the door of the Juventus headquarters, and those relating to the arrival of a young left winger who could cover his back to the Bianconero, or even take his place if Udinese gave up to the indispensable outdoor offer purchased by Verona last year and already redeemed (for a total of 5 million) at the end of April.

From Portugal, in fact, they are sure that Gino Pozzo has already put pen to paper with Sporting Braga to bring another 2002 class to Friuli as Leonardo Buta. According to the Lusitanian media, with “Record” to give the news among the first, the left-handed winger of Sporting has already undergone medical examinations and affixed his signature to the contract that would bind him to Udinese until 2027.

This would be Buta’s most appreciated birthday present, awaited on Sunday 5 June by the cake with twenty candles to blow out. The Portuguese are also certain that the operation was completed fairly quickly, which on the one hand confirms the fame of the Pozzo family, good at working under the radar and then displacing the competition once things are done, but on the other it could also indicate the opening to a sale of Udogie. And this not because we do not want to complete the project to enhance a winger that literally exploded in the second round, but because the big players have targeted the blue, among other things just returned early from the call with the Under 21, a sign that that muscular problem at the height of the pubis remedied in Salerno has not yet been completely overcome, as coach Roberto Mancini had noticed long before, who sent it back to Udine on the first day of the internship dedicated to the discovery of young people of national interest, immediately after the end of the championship.

Here, in fact, that Udogie is “of national interest” many have noticed, Atalanta was among the first, closely followed by Inter, by Juventus, which aims at an all-Friulian pairing with Nahuel Molinaand in recent days also from the British Brighton and Arsenal.

All questions to which the company replied with a “no thanks” next to the 25-30 million valuation. Too many? Not for a 19-year-old left winger who amazed with personality and resourcefulness, scoring 5 goals and 3 assists in 34 games, then touching others, read the Florence post and Alessio Cragno’s miracle in Friuli with Cagliari.

Udogie made a void on that band, to the point of overshadowing the absence of a real competitor (Marvin Zeegelaarlater used as a central defensive player), while in the right lane Nahuel Molina had “the change” in Brandon Soppynot to mention that it will soon be added Festy Eboselecalled on Saturday 4 June with Ireland in Andorra for Nations.

It is for all these millions of reasons that Udinese in the end could think of a sale, perhaps even talking about it with Arsenal, where he has already returned from the loan. Pablo Marì.
