Defender Cristian Zapata will move to the club for about 7 million euros.
Currently playing in the Copa America tournament, the footballer was also of interest to Liverpool and Bayern Munich, but decided to accept an offer from Spain.
24-year-old Zapata will sign a five-year contract after the championship.
"It was the first team to show interest," - said the defender's agent Jerome Barbadillo. - "Cristian is very happy, but remains focused on the Copa America tournament."
According to the deal, Udinese will also receive Jozy Altidore or Marco Ruben.
