Besiktas trouble Benfica again, this time not about Rafa Silva | OneFootball

Besiktas is very interested in securing the signing of Lorenzo Lucca. The information, reported by journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, indicates a new front of negotiation battle between the clubs. Remember that the Eagles are still trying to bring back Rafa Silva and there have been updates on the matter.

The Italian striker was one of the major desires of Benfica's management to strengthen their attacking front. However, the high financial demands presented by Napoli ended up stalling the deal. The intransigence of the Italians has, for now, ruled out the real possibility of the player moving to Luz in this transfer window.

The Italian club requested a total package of 37 million euros for Lorenzo Lucca. The agreement included 2 million for the loan fee and 35 million for a mandatory purchase clause. Benfica's board considered this amount too high, refusing to proceed under the terms proposed by the Neapolitan club.

It should be noted that Benfica is trying to secure the return of Rafa Silva. However, Besiktas demands 15 million euros, an amount the Eagles do not agree to pay. The player is dissatisfied in Turkey and is pushing for an exit, creating an evident tension between the two sports institutions.

This season, playing for Napoli, Lorenzo Lucca — valued at 25 million euros — has played 21 official matches: 15 in Serie A, four in the Champions League, one in the Super Cup, and one in the Italian Cup. In the 584 minutes played, the forward, who has a contract valid until June 2028, scored two goals.
