Juventus and Brighton have been associated with Lazar Samardzic in recent reports, prompting questions about the Udinese talent’s next career move.

The 22-year-old Serbian midfielder has been at the forefront of Serie A transfer discussions for about a year now. Last summer, he was on the verge of joining Inter before negotiations fell apart. In January, Napoli expressed interest, yet a transfer didn’t materialize.

With just over two years remaining on his contract with Udinese, Samardzic seems poised to step up to a top-tier club this summer, particularly given Udinese’s challenges this season. He has contributed four goals and two assists in 30 Serie A appearances.

Transfer market analyst Matteo Moretto recently shared insights on Juventus and Brighton’s purported interest in Samardzic with Caught Offside.

As of now, Brighton has not made any moves for the Serbian midfielder, partly because he is inclined to stay in Serie A.

Potential suitors are monitoring Udinese’s fate, as relegation to Serie B would likely affect Samardzic’s transfer value. While Juventus admires Samardzic, their immediate focus seems to be on pursuing Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners.
