Agent: 'Udinese want big money for Vydra'

The agent of Udinese striker Matej Vydra has insisted that the Italian side are looking for a very big fee for his client.

Ondrej Chovanec does not expect Udinese to keep hold of the striker, but thinks that a fee similar to Wilfried Zaha's move to Manchester United would be suitable.

"I don't expect [him to stay at Udinese]," he told fotbal.idnes.cz. "They have forwards [Antonio] Di Natale and [Luis] Muriel, so I think they won't add Matej to them."

"Talks are starting. I can say that some clubs from [the Premier League and Bundesliga] have contacted us but I won't be specific. I strictly avoid doing that.

"When he moves somewhere, he will want to be playing. They won't even be considering offers of six or eight million euros. They are imagining the same price that Manchester United paid for Zaha for the transfer from Crystal Palace."

The 21-year-old scored 20 goals in the Championship on loan at Watford last season.
