According to local Udinese media outlet TuttoUdinese, Udinese midfielder
Samardzic (name)
s father has reached a verbal agreement with AC Milan that will see the player receive a contract worth €3 million a year and a transfer commission of €2 million for his entourage. The situation has sparked the displeasure of Udinese club owner Pozzo.
Despite Milan showing a strong interest in Samardzic, they have yet to submit a formal offer to Udinese. Milan have chosen to make contact with the player's father first, a move that has clearly angered the Udinese side. Pozzo has made it clear that Samardzic's transfer will not be approved unless an offer of €25 million is received.
For now, Samardzic is still taking part in regular training with Udinese and is likely to make his debut in this weekend's Coppa Italia match. This shows that despite the transfer rumors, the player's future remains uncertain. Udinese are sticking to their valuation of Samardzic and hope that Milan will respect the transfer procedure and submit a formal offer to continue negotiations.
