Udinese are talks with partner club Watford over a defensive signing.
Both the Zebrette and Watford are owned by the Pozzo family.
Udinese are speaking with the Hornets about defensive duo Sebastian Prödl and Christian Kabasele.
The Italians hope to take one of the two on-loan for the season.
Kabasele signed for Watford last month from Genk.
