| Udinese switch delights Mesto | Saturday 7 July, 2007 |
| Giandomenico Mesto insists joining Udinese from Reggina was the right move to make at this stage of his career.
The right-back, who can also play in midfield, has now been officially snapped up by the Bianconeri and he’s happy with the switch.
“This is a great step up for me in my footballing life,” noted the former Under-21 international on Saturday afternoon.
“Udinese, thanks to the results they have achieved over the past few years, have netted the respect of everyone. I’m delighted with the transfer.”
The Stadio Friuli side have signed the 25-year-old for a fee of £3.2m. Paraguayan striker Jose Montiel has also joined Reggina on loan as part of the deal.
Mesto, who was close to joining Milan last January, has won two caps at full international level and nine for the Azzurrini.
It’s also understood that Lazio, Liverpool and Spanish giants Valencia were keen on the versatile player.
“Udinese are an important club too, the rest was only talk,” added the Italian. “My favoured position? I play on the flank so a 4-3-3 would be ideal.”
Born in Bari, Mesto started his career at Reggina back in the 1997-98 season when they were in Serie B.
He’s been at the club ever since apart from loan spells at Cremonese and Fermana between 2000 and 2002.
