Many clubs have been linked to Zapata during this season, including Juventus, Inter, Milan and Real Madrid. However, according to media reports, Fiorentina are the frontrunners to sign him up.
But Leonardi told Fiorenzeviola.it,“Even I read this news
on the newspapers, but I say it with sincerity: no one called me up from Florence to have information on our players and in particular for Zapata, these are just rumours.
“The lad has a contract with Udinese until 2013. We cannot do more than this. I think that the club’s position is quite clear with regards to the player.”
“小伙子和俱乐部合同到2013年呢。我们做了很多,我认为俱乐部队对他的态度十分明确”
The Colombian has been with the Bianconeri since 2005, where he has played in total 98 league games and scored two goals for the club.
