Inter Milan target Lazar Samardzic feels that Udinese is a very good club for him right now, but at the same time doesn’t rule out the possibility of a move to a bigger club.
Speaking to German news outlet Sport1, via FCInterNews, the 21-year-old reflected on his future amid transfer links to the Nerazzurri as well as Napoli and Juventus among others.
Last season saw Samardzic emerge as a top young talent in Serie A.
The German-born Serbian international enjoyed something of a breakout campaign, playing a more and more prominent role for Udinese as the season wore on.
This has led to some suggestions that the Friulani won’t be able to hold onto Samardzic for much longer. The biggest teams in Serie A are reportedly starting to ponder a transfer.
Inter are one of the teams who have been strongly linked with Samardzic in recent weeks. The ex-RB Leipzig man could be the player who the Nerazzurri go after to complete their midfield for next season.
Meanwhile, the likes of the Partenopei and the Bianconeri are reportedly also tracking Samardzic.
Inter Target Lazar Samardzic Gives His Thoughts About The Future
If Samardzic were to go to a bigger club this summer, it would certainly represent a significant change for him.
At Udinese, the 21-year-old has had the chance to develop and receive playing time. The spotlight has not been quite as glaring as it perhaps would be at Serie A’s biggest clubs.
However, the big clubs in Italy are increasingly willing to take chances on younger players.
That is certainly the strategy that AC Milan and Napoli have employed to win the past two Serie A titles.
And Inter as well have been lowering the average age of their squad this summer. The Nerazzurri are reportedly targeting Samardzic precisely because he is a younger player who could grow into the team rather than only making a contribution in the short term.
Samardzic stated that “Right now my goal is just to go into the season with renewed energy.”
“Obviously as a player you want to strive for the very best,” the Serb added.
“But right now I’m not giving too much thought to what’s in my future.”
“At the moment, Udine is a great environment for me to develop,” Samardzic made clear.
