Zaniolo opens up about ‘turbulent summer’ and Alaba’s Udinese move

Nicolò Zaniolo, the Italy international striker, has opened up about his turbulent summer and the arrival of David Alaba at Udinese. The striker expressed his desire to stay at Udinese and welcomed Alaba, praising the club's strength and ambition. Alaba, a former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich star, joined Udinese on a free transfer and is expected to make his debut tonight against Torino.

Zaniolo spoke highly of Alaba, calling him a "champion" who will bring invaluable experience and a winning mentality to the team.
