Alessandro Diamanti could be on his way back to Watford.

The Italy international spent the second-half of the season on-loan with Atalanta.

Atalanta are unlikely to take up his permanent option, meaning Diamanti will be sent back to Watford.

However, the midfielder wants to stay in Italy, which could see Udinese sign him.

But new Watford boss Walter Mazzarri may also have a say, with Diamanti well known to the Italian coach.
