The Udinese Sentinel
Match22 Aug 2026
Udinese taken apart
0‑4 to Bologna, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Udinese sign Anis Hadj Moussa for $14.4M
The paperwork is done: Anis Hadj Moussa joins from Feyenoord in a deal worth $14.4M. Now comes the harder part.

Maduka Okoye stands alone
8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Udinese sign Elseid Hysaj for $3.9M
The paperwork is done: Elseid Hysaj joins from Lazio in a deal worth $3.9M. Now comes the harder part.

Alex Ramku asks to leave Udinese
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Gastón Brugman due for a Udinese medical
Everything agreed with Pescara, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

A falling-out at Udinese
Unai Gómez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Anis Hadj Moussa was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 21. 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.

4 academy graduates step up at Udinese
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
