Nicolò Zaniolo's contract negotiations with Udinese have hit a roadblock, and AC Milan is watching with interest. The player's agent, Claudio Vigorelli, is set to meet with Udinese directors in the coming hours to try to reach an agreement. However, the two parties remain far apart on economic terms.

Zaniolo is seeking a significant increase from Udinese's offer of 1.5 million euros net per season. The player believes his performance in the last season warrants a raise of 400-500 thousand euros. If an agreement can't be reached, a transfer seems increasingly likely.

Milan has already made contact with Zaniolo's entourage to gauge the feasibility of a move. The Rossoneri appear to be in pole position, ahead of Juventus and Bologna, who are also monitoring the situation.

The 20-year-old Zaniolo has become a key player for Udinese, and his potential departure would be a significant blow to the team.
