Raków Częstochowa in talks for Udinese's Rui Modesto
Raków Częstochowa, currently 4th in Ekstraklasa with 55 points (16W-7D-11L), is negotiating with Udinese for winger Rui Modesto. After an initial failed attempt, the Częstochowa club has renewed interest in the 26-year-old Angolan, but the price tag could be an obstacle.
Will the price be a dealbreaker?
Udinese is asking €3 million for Modesto, which exceeds Raków's budget. The club is exploring cheaper alternatives, including internal options like Michaela Ameyawa. Modesto is under contract with Udinese until 2029 but is not a priority for coach Kosta Runjaic.
What are the alternatives?
Besides Modesto, Raków is considering other options for a winger. Michaela Ameyawa is one of the candidates for the role. Last season, Modesto played on loan in Serie B with Palermo, making 23 appearances and providing three assists.
What's next for the transfer?
After a recent 2-3 loss to PSV Eindhoven (July 11, 2026), Raków Częstochowa wants to strengthen the squad for the new season. Negotiations with Udinese are ongoing, but the final decision depends on the price. Transfermarkt values Modesto at €1.8 million, which could serve as a starting point for discussions.
