Udinese has expressed interest in acquiring Nicolò Bertola, the central defender currently playing for Spezia. Bertola has opted not to extend his contract with Spezia, which means he will be available for a free transfer at the season's end. His record, which includes three goals in 27 appearances, enhances his appeal to various clubs. Spezia remains in contention for direct promotion to Serie A, adding to the player's attractiveness. Besides Udinese, other Serie A teams such as Juventus and Bologna, along with Valencia from Spain and Olympiacos from Greece, have also shown interest in Bertola. Olympiacos is particularly eager to pair him with fellow Italian Lorenzo Pirola, who was recently acquired from Salernitana. Bertola's current contract situation, combined with his notable performances, has increased his desirability in the transfer market.
