The latest news from local media outlet Tutto Udinese in Udinese shows that Udinese's 22-year-old Serbia midfielder Samardzic has reached a verbal agreement with AC Milan, which Udinese owner Pozzo is unhappy about.
The Italian media said that AC Milan plans to sign Samardzic in the summer window, but the Rossoneri have not made a formal offer to Udinese, but the first to contact the player's agent, who is Samardzic's father, and the two sides have reached a verbal agreement, Samardzic will receive a contract with an annual salary of 3 million euros after tax, and will also give the player's father a commission of 2 million euros. In this regard, Udinese owner Pozo was dissatisfied, because Milan contacted the player first and not the club, and informed Samardzic and his father that without an offer of 25 million euros, Udinese would not sell Samardzic and the player would not want to transfer and leave. Samardzic is currently training with Udinese and is likely to play in the Italy Cup this weekend and start.
Note: Samardzic was close to joining Inter Milan in the summer window last year, and the annual salary negotiated at that time was 1.5 million euros after tax, and this year's summer window doubled.
Samardzic joined Udinese in Serie A from Leipzig in the Bundesliga for a transfer fee of 3 million euros in the summer window of 2021 and has been playing for him ever since, but there will be transfer scandals every summer window, last summer window with Inter Milan, and this summer window with AC Milan.
The 22-year-old Samardzic, 1.84 meters tall, left-footed player, playing in midfielder or forward midfield, has a contract with Udinese until 2026, and is valued at 20 million euros, making him the most valuable player in the Udinese team, with an annual salary of 400,000 euros after tax. Samardzic made 34 appearances for Udinese in all competitions last season, starting 28 of them, contributing six goals and two assists.
