According to Di Marzio, Udinese and Zaniolo are signing a contract extension that will run until 2029, with a club option for one additional year, and an official announcement is imminent.

Zaniolo's collaboration with Udinese is about to be officially cemented. After the two parties reached a verbal agreement in the past few days and finalized the contract text, they are now signing the relevant documents. This long-term contract will keep the attacking midfielder in Friuli. The final details of the agreement show that the new contract will be extended until June 30, 2029, with an option for Udinese to extend it for another year. The official announcement of this deal is expected soon.

Udinese has fulfilled its previous promise after buying out Zaniolo from Galatasaray. Zaniolo joined Udinese just before the close of the 2025-26 transfer window, and the club promised at the time to renegotiate and extend his contract before the start of the new season. The number 10 player fully deserves this extension given his excellent performance last season. He made a total of 34 appearances (32 in Serie A, 2 in the Coppa Italia), contributing 6 goals and 6 assists. Currently, all parties are awaiting the routine official announcement.
