Champions League winner hampers Lorenzo Lucca's move to Benfica | OneFootball

Lorenzo Lucca's arrival at Benfica may have become complicated, as revealed exclusively by Glorioso 1904. In recent hours, according to information from Gianluca Di Marzio, Nottingham Forest has inquired about the Italian. The historic English club, a former Champions League winner, is considering the immediate signing of the striker.

Nottingham Forest interested in Lorenzo Lucca

The athlete has several clubs interested, beyond the British and the Eagles. Porto, Juventus, Lazio, Betis, and Roma are some of the names in the race. This extensive list of suitors promises to inflate the market value, making it difficult for the Benfica management to secure the transalpine giant's services.

The player is not in Antonio Conte's plans, but his departure requires financial return. Napoli intends to recover part of the significant investment made in the striker, who initially arrived on a loan of 9 million, with a mandatory purchase clause set at 26 million euros.

Benfica does not want to go overboard

Lorenzo Lucca's profile is very appealing to José Mourinho, however, the deal appears complex. Benfica does not intend to invest large sums in this transfer window and favors a temporary loan with a purchase option. The financial intransigence of the Neapolitans clashes with the containment strategy defined by Rui Costa.

This season, wearing the Napoli jersey, Lorenzo Lucca – valued at 25 million euros – played 20 games: 14 in Serie A, four in the Champions League, one in the Super Cup, and one in the Italian Cup. In the 570 minutes he was on the field, the athlete scored two goals.
