Ajax have set their sights on Udinese winger Nicolo Zaniolo as a potential successor to Mika Godts, who recently completed his move to Paris Saint-Germain. The Dutch club is actively exploring the possibility of bringing the Italian attacker to Amsterdam, with preliminary discussions already underway regarding a possible transfer.
Zaniolo joined Udinese on a permanent basis this summer and has since secured an improved contract with the Serie A club, rewarding his performances with better financial terms. Despite signing a deal that runs through 2029, the 24-year-old has caught the attention of Ajax as they look to fill the void left by Godts’ departure to the French capital.
A transfer to Ajax would represent a significant step forward in Zaniolo’s career trajectory, offering him the opportunity to compete in European competition once again. The former Roma player has gained valuable experience across multiple leagues, including spells in England and Turkey, demonstrating his willingness to embrace challenging opportunities abroad.
While Ajax have gathered information and made initial contact with Zaniolo’s representatives, the situation remains fluid. Udinese’s determination to retain their talented winger, coupled with his long-term contract commitments, could present obstacles to any potential deal in the coming weeks.
