Kevin Zeroli: Udinese eye move for AC Milans Italian-Nigerian midfielder

Udinese are considering a move for AC Milans Italian-Nigerian midfielder Kevin Zeroli as they explore central midfield reinforcements for the new Serie A season.

The 21-year-old, who is under contract at San Siro until 30 June 2028, has emerged as a potential target after a campaign in which he divided his time between Milan and loan spells in the lower divisions. Zerolis current market valuation stands at around 3.3m, a figure that is likely to shape any negotiations between the clubs.

Born in Busto Arsizio and standing at 1.87m, Zeroli has been developed through Milans youth system and formally stepped up to the first team in July 2024. He went on to make his Serie A debut for the Rossoneri and has since accumulated 12 top-flight appearances, registering one assist in 431 minutes of league action.

To accelerate his development, Milan have already sent Zeroli out on short-term loans to Monza and Juve Stabia. He featured in both Serie B and Serie C last term, scoring once in 13 Serie B matches and adding four goals in 15 games in the third tier, as well as appearing in the Serie B promotion play-offs.

Zeroli has also been part of a Milan squad that claimed the Italian Super Cup in the 2024-25 season, adding senior silverware to an extensive record at youth level, including over 50 Primavera 1 appearances. For now, he remains tied to Milan on a long-term deal, leaving Udinese to assess whether they can tempt the Rossoneri into a sale or secure a loan arrangement.
