Marked for Edson

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market12 Jul 2027

Edson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Udinese can pretend not to have heard.

Market12 Jul 2027

Udinese turn down Monopoli for Juan David Arizala

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom12 Jul 2027

Still nobody in the Udinese dugout

41 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Udinese

Nicolò Zaniolo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad12 Jul 2027

A late step up for Oier Zarraga

At 28 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

Door shut on Toni Tamarit

Udinese asked and Alverca said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Jacopo Ferrara falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Saba Goglichidze signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Saba Goglichidze commits to Udinese for another 5 years.

Market12 Jul 2027

Modena are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Udinese will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Udinese rebuffed over Francisco Trincão

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Al-Ahli have kept their man, and Udinese go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad11 Jan 2027

8 saves: Maduka Okoye was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Udinese make their move for Raffaele Di Gennaro

$950.0K on the table at Inter. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Udinese

Assane Diao and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market11 Jan 2027

Lazar Jovanović attracts admirers

The name of Lazar Jovanović has come up in conversations Udinese were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market11 Jan 2027

Udinese sign Mattia Liberali, one for the future

Mattia Liberali is 19, and Udinese have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Match9 Jan 2027

Udinese come up short against AS Roma

AS Roma left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Jordan Zemura falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Unai Gómez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Unai Gómez, and the manager let it.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Assane Diao was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match24 Oct 2026

5 matches without a win for Udinese

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Udinese are no longer polite ones.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Udinese

Nicolò Zaniolo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market26 Oct 2026

Mërgim Vojvoda has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Udinese can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Home is on Juan Cruz de los Santos's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Udinese are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Giulio Bonaventura: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Daniele Padelli

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad26 Oct 2026

The formation has left Edson behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Udinese will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The plan did not have a place for Jesper Karlström

Nobody at Udinese is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.
