Udinese striker Di Natale extends contract

Udinese striker Antonio Di Natale has extended his contract with the Serie A club until the end of the 2014-2015 season.

Di Natale had been linked with a move to AC Milan but the former Italy striker penned a new contract on Tuesday which also includes an option for the following year.

The club says ''as has been wished for several times, (Di Natale) will finish his sporting career at Udinese.''

The 35-year-old Di Natale has been at Udinese since 2004 and scored 23 goals last season.

Di Natale has twice finished top of the Serie A scoring charts.
