Serie A side Napoli have inquired about Udinese 's Nicolo Zaniolo recently as they plot a summer move for him.

The Italian international currently earns €1.2 million under his contract with the Friulani until 2029, and he is looking to increase it to at least €2 million ahead of the new season. During his tenure with Galatasaray, he earned over €3 million, and Udinese promised to review his contract with the club. Coming on the back of a positive loan season with the Udine-based outfit, scoring five goals and assists each across 32 league appearances for the club, they are going ahead with their promise, but things could take a turn if other Serie A sides join the race.
Zaniolo was bought from the Turkish giants by Udinese when they triggered a €9 million purchase option at the end of his loan deal.
Lazio have been following the player for a long time now, and Napoli will have to overcome the capital side if a transfer battle begins in the coming days.
