Antonio Di Natale scored a goal in his last appearance for Udinese - a 2-1 loss to Carpi - and subsequently announced he was deferring any decisions about his future until after a holiday with his family. The 38-year-old striker is out of contract, and is assumed to be weighing offers to play on for another club with whatever role Udinese might be willing to offer one of its all-time greats.
Most recently, reports out of Italy suggest Di Natale has been approached by Spezia Calcio, an ambitious Serie B outfit which represents a chance for the forward to keep playing, stay in Italy, but not have to face Udinese (a Serie A club).
