Free agent Francesco Lodi is in negotiations for a contract with Udinese to replace injured Alexander Merkel.

The former Genoa, Catania and Parma midfielder is without a club so far this season following the Ducali’s bankruptcy.

He had been in talks with Napoli, but the 31-year-old failed to agree personal terms.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Udinese called Lodi after a serious injury to midfielder Merkel.

This week Merkel tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will be out of action for around five to six months.
