Udogie Agent Slams Serie A Teams for Not Signing Him
In his few Premier League games, Destiny Udogie has more than held his own. He completed the transfer a year later than expected because Tottenham permitted him to play a full season on loan at Udinese. To Tuttomercatoweb, his agent Stefano Antonelli revealed a few backstories regarding his prior transfers.
“The bravery to invest is the one thing Italian teams struggle with more than anything else. I defy anyone to name a faction that opposed him. All of them did. But at the time, Gino Pozzo’s Udinese was the only one to pick up speed.
When Udogie arrived from Verona, the Friulani had only made a few Serie A games.
Ten months later, they sold him for €26 million after signing him for €2.8 million. He doesn’t really have a price tag at the moment, given what he’s doing. We spoke with Milan, Juventus, and Inter. However, they lacked the drive to see the procedure through.
“Spending too little on Italian players is a cliche; the same thing happened with Udogie.”
The fullback has made ten appearances for Tottenham so far, scoring two goals. Surprisingly, he was left out of the starting lineup for the final European qualifiers; however, this was due to a minor injury to his muscle. Having only chosen Federico Dimarco and Andrea Cambiaso at first, Luciano Spalletti expanded the defensive wing options by adding Cristiano Biraghi and Manuel Lazzari.
