Rodrigo De Paul Next Club Odds

Rodrigo De Paul’s future at Udinese is under a lot of scrutiny, following heavy transfer links in the summer which looked certain to see the Argentina international leave the Serie A club for Leeds United.

The 26-year-old has got many admirers following some impressive performances in the last two and a half years at Udinese, having got five-goal contributions so far this season in 13 games, which means he has been involved in 35% of the Serie A side’s goals this season, as well as racking up seven goals and six assists in 34 league appearances last campaign, having played in various different positions in midfield, this is on top of the 16 goal contributions De Paul made in 2018/19.

Leeds United come in as favourites to sign the former Valencia man at 5/1. In the summer the Udinese midfielder was priced at £36m, but his price is believed to have dropped to around £31.5m since, with the club looking to cash in on their prize asset. Argentinian manager Marcelo Bielsa is looking for more goals from the centre of his side’s midfield, as Mateusz Klich is the only one to have scored for the Whites from this area, with three goals, of which two of these were penalties.

De Paul himself in the summer tweeted out that he wanted a move to Elland Road in the summer during Udinese’s and Leeds’s lengthy and unsuccessful negotiations, which makes the Yorkshire side favourites for the Argentinian at 5/1. – Click here to claim this bet in your bet slip!

Italian giants Inter Milan have also been linked with a move for De Paul, with former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte looking to shift Christian Eriksen from his squad. Inter’s CEO Giuseppe Marotta recently said "Yes, I can confirm that Eriksen is on the transfer list. He's going to leave in January. He's not functional to our plans and he had difficulty here at Inter. I think it's right that Christian goes away to find more space".

Conte has opted to use the 3-4-3 formation which served him so well at Chelsea and is looking for a complete central midfielder to complement the likes of Arturo Vidal, with De Paul fitting the bill due to his goal contributions which were mentioned above.

Inter are priced at 10/1 to sign De Paul from Udinese.

Juventus are also rumoured to be interested in De Paul due to the Argentine’s goal contributions, as they have struggled for creativity this season under Andrea Pirlo and currently sit in sixth place in Serie A. Juve are the seventh top scorers in the league which says it all considering that Cristiano Ronaldo is the Serie A’s top scorer with 12 goals in 10 games. No team has drawn more games in the Italian top flight this season, as Pirlo’s side have drawn six of their 13 matches, which has left his side ten points adrift of his former club AC Milan at the top of the table.

De Paul has the odds of 10/1 to move to the Juventus Stadium in January.
