Naldo 'set for Udinese exit'

Udinese defender Naldo is reportedly set to leave the club and return to Brazil.

The 25-year-old, who has fallen out of favour under manager Francesco Guidolin, is said to want a return to his homeland, according to Football Italia.

Naldo joined the Bianconeri from Bologna at the start of the season, but after making just 13 appearances he could now move on again.

The centre-back has also had spells at Uniao Sao Joao, Ponte Preta, Cruzeiro and Gremio.
