Napoli and Juventus set to step up pursuit for unsettled Udinese man Lazar Samardžić

Attacking midfielder Lazar Samardžić has shown discontent to stay at his current club and is set for a move elsewhere next month.

According to a report by Daniele Longo, the relationship between Lazar Samardžić and Udinese manager Gabriele Cioffi is totally broken. The discontent between them was further aggravated when the Italian manager took a dig at the player during the Milan-Udinese post-match press conference as he said: “I don’t care if he stays or not”.

The 21-year-old is now adamant about leaving the Udine-based side as soon as during the January transfer window. The midfielder is very popular amongst the Napoli management after displaying a series of convincing performances. The Partenopei is expected to replace Piotr Zielinski with Samardžić next season. 

Apart from the Neapolitans, Juventus are enduring a shortage of midfielders and therefore, might consider signing the Serbian. Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is an admirer of the player and it is set to be a potential transfer battle between the Bianconeri and Napoli next month. If not next month, it could take place.
