Rodrigo de Paul has penned a contract extension with Udinese, a move that will almost certainly spell the end to the recent transfer speculation concerning the player.

The versatile Argentine has extended his contract with the Bianconeri club through to the end of the 2023/24 season and this will come as a blow to some clubs who had shown an interest in signing him in recent months, with Inter being one of those sides to have drawn heavy links to him.

This season the 25-year-old has made five appearances across all competitions, in which he has contributed two assists.
