Neal Maupay was linked with Udinese as a potential destination this summer. OM was open to letting him leave, but Maupay turned down the approach and did not accept the move.

Udinese has expressed interest in acquiring Neal Maupay, a 29-year-old player currently with Olympique de Marseille. Reports indicate that Maupay is not part of the coach's future plans, suggesting a likely departure from the club in the near future. While Udinese has shown interest, there has been no official contact as of yet. Despite being ranked fourth in the team's hierarchy behind players such as Amine Gouiri, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Robinio Vaz, Udinese, alongside Nice and Lille, have reportedly reached out to Marseille regarding Maupay's availability. The French striker, who transitioned to Marseille from Everton only a year prior, is anticipated to leave before the transfer window concludes. Maupay's contract with Marseille is set to expire on June 30, 2028, and according to Transfermarkt, his current market value stands at €8.00m.
