Watford centre-back Ben Wilmot has reportedly agreed terms for a transfer to Udinese, claim Sky Sport Italia.

The England Under-20 international is only 19 years old and joined Watford from Stevenage in July.

He made six competitive appearances for the Hornets this season.

Udinese and Watford are both owned by the Pozzo family, so regularly exchange players between them.

Gerard Deulofeu’s proposed transfer to Milan is off after Watford took the winger off the market.

Milan were working on a deal to bring back Deulofeu, but it emerged late last night that Watford gave the Rossoneri until Tuesday to offer €25m up front for the Spaniard.

Multiple sources, including Gianluca Di Marzio’s website and Calciomercato.com, are now reporting that the former Barcelona attacker is no longer for sale.

Watford have reportedly told Milan to pay €25m plus bonuses for Gerard Deulofeu by Tuesday or miss out on the winger.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Watford are not interested in loaning out Deulofeu and are demanding payment up front from Milan.

The Sky Sport Italia journalist explains the Hornets have issued the ultimatum to give themselves enough time to source a replacement, given the transfer window shuts on Thursday.

Watford reportedly value Gerard Deulofeu at €30m, which would price Milan out of a deal to bring back the winger.

It was first reported last week that Milan were working on Deulofeu’s return, but Tuttomercatoweb warns Watford are demanding €30m for the Spaniard.

The Rossoneri have already spent €70m on the signings of Lucas Paqueta and Krzysztof Piatek this month, making it unlikely that they will splash out more cash.

Gerard Deulofeu is reportedly eager for a Milan return, but Watford are demanding €25m without a loan portion of the deal ahead of today's crunch talks.

Multiple sources in Italy point the winger towards a comeback to San Siro, where he already played on loan for six months from Everton in 2017.

Watford paid €13m plus bonuses to buy the Spain international from Barcelona this season, so are determined to make a profit on the 24-year-old.

Inter are now leading the race for Yannick Carrasco, offering Antonio Candreva to Dalian Yifang, so Milan turn to Watford’s Gerard Deulofeu.

The Rossoneri had set their sights on Carrasco, who is eager for a return to Europe after his €30m transfer to China a year ago.

However, their city rivals have taken the upper hand over the last few days and Sky Sport Italia claim they could use Candreva as part of an exchange.

They no longer require the Italy veteran and he confirmed he’s looking elsewhere due to the lack of playing time.

Milan are reportedly close to signing Bordeaux midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and hope to pair him with Watford winger Gerard Deulofeu.

According to Tuttosport and Sport Mediaset, Milan sporting director Leonardo is working on a loan with an option to buy for Deulofeu.

The 24-year-old spent the second half of the 2016-17 campaign at San Siro, scoring four goals and assisting three in 18 appearances for the Rossoneri.

The Friulani have found some balance since Davide Nicola took over from Julio Velazquez and are reinforcing in the January transfer window.

Milan and Watford are reportedly battling it out to sign €20m-rated Olympique Lyonnais attacker Maxwel Cornet.

According to L’Equipe, Milan are interested in Cornet and have ‘already met his camp several times’.

However, the newspaper warns they face competition from Watford, who have opened talks with not only his representatives but also Lyon officials.

The 22-yard-old is capable of playing as a centre-forward or on the wide right and has two goals in eight caps for Ivory Coast.

Udinese have officially signed Watford left-back Marvin Zeegelaar on loan for the rest of the season.

The deal was confirmed in a statement on Udinese’s website, although there is no mention of an option to buy.

Zeegelaar joined Watford in the summer of 2017 from Sporting CP and assisted two goals in 13 appearances last season.
