Isaac Success, a once-promising Nigerian footballer, has officially parted ways with Udinese after the two parties mutually agreed to terminate his contract.

Success first gained international attention in 2013, when he emerged as the top scorer in the U17 African Cup of Nations (Afcon). His remarkable performance caught the eye of scouts across Europe, eventually leading him to Udinese.
The club hoped his natural talent and goal-scoring prowess would make a significant impact in Serie A. However, Success’s time in Italy did not pan out as expected.
Over recent seasons, Success struggled to cement his place in the Udinese squad. Injuries and inconsistent form saw him gradually fall out of favor, with fewer opportunities to make his mark on the pitch.
The situation reached a tipping point in the current season, as Success did not feature in Udinese’s first three competitive matches, signaling that he was no longer part of the club’s long-term plans.
This summer, Udinese underwent a major reshuffle in their attacking lineup, signing Lorenzo Lucca, Damián Pizarro, Iker Bravo, and the seasoned Alexis Sánchez. The arrival of these new talents pushed Success further down the pecking order, ultimately leading to the mutual decision to part ways.
For Isaac Success, this departure opens the door to new possibilities. While his journey at Udinese may have ended in disappointment, his earlier accolades and potential still make him an attractive prospect for clubs seeking to bolster their attacking options. As Success navigates the next phase of his career, finding a club where he can rejuvenate his form and fulfill his potential will be crucial. Meanwhile, Udinese will likely look to consolidate their squad, possibly seeking further reinforcements to fill the void left by his departure.
