Udinese confirm Silvan Widmer and Allan are likely to leave, while buying time over Antonio Di Natale and Andrea Stramaccioni.
The Zebrette may balance their books this summer by letting go of some of their stronger pieces, and the attention of other Serie A clubs is focused on the defender and the midfielder.
“Inter probed [for Allan] last summer, as [sporting director Piero] Ausilio holds the player in high regard, but I think a transfer this year may be a bit premature,” Udinese director of sport Cristiano Giaretta told Sportitalia.

“Inter probed [for Allan] last summer, as [sporting director Piero] Ausilio holds the player in high regard, but I think a transfer this year may be a bit premature,” Udinese director of sport Cristiano Giaretta told Sportitalia.
“It's his third year in Serie A, he is consolidating his achievements at the highest levels and he is very dynamic.
“He is definitely ready for a great team, but we'll sit around a table at the end of the year to negotiate with someone.
“As for Widmer, we've had a few phone calls and he's doing very well. He is destined to play in an important team, but we'll see whether that starts this summer or whether he'll stay another year in Udine.
“Allan at €15m, Widmer at €12-13m, and [Thomas] Heurtaux at €11m? That's not bad as a starting point to evaluate them, but the price of a player is determined by demand.
“It's hard to quote a price right now. We have our own ideas but it's going to depend on the buyer.”
The 47-year-old was then asked whether some of Udinese's most essential figures, such as striker Di Natale and Coach Stramaccioni, were also at a risk of leaving.
“I'm not confirming Di Natale's departure. He has an innate understanding with [President Giampaolo] Pozzo and at season's end he'll decide his own destiny.
“Right now he's only focused on the championship, as there are seven games to be played, and that's a lot.
“He wants to overtake Roberto Baggio in the hierarchies of the most prolific scorers in Serie A, but he'll be the one deciding what to do at the end of the year.
“As for Stramaccioni, he has seven games to give it all, the way he's always done. We've always given him great support, and he speaks a lot with the players over the course of the week.
“It's early to draw conclusions, he must be able to work with a clear mind while we should not think too far ahead.
“We want to improve ourselves in the standings. We may be relatively comfortable in terms of avoiding relegation, but we don't like our position very much.
“We're a small club, but also an ambitious one, and we still want to give a lot of joy to our tifosi.”
