Italy national team forward Antonio Di Natale has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

Returning from the European Championship, where he reached the final with the national team, the 34-year-old footballer has scored 80 goals in just the last three "Serie A" seasons.

In the continental tournament, he managed to score only once - in the group stage match against Spain, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Last season, playing for "Empoli", "Iperzola", "Vareze" and "Viareggio" in the national championships, the forward scored 23 goals in 35 matches. He has been playing for Udinese since 2004.
