Lorenzo Lucca prefers to stay in Italy

This is bad news for Benfica, who have been closely following the Italian international. The structure led by Rui Costa saw in the player the ideal profile to strengthen the attack. However, the athlete’s wish not to leave the country creates a difficult obstacle to overcome in negotiations.

Benfica is not the only club interested in the giant’s services. Besides Nottingham Forest, Porto, Juventus, Lazio, Betis, and Roma are also in the race. Several top clubs are monitoring the situation, which increases the competition and makes it even harder for the Eagles to secure the signing amid such strong opposition.

Benfica’s dream is becoming increasingly complicated

As revealed exclusively by Glorioso 1904, the arrival of the striker at Luz is a very complicated scenario. The amounts involved in the deal are around 30 million euros, a very high sum. The financial issue, now combined with the player’s geographical preference, makes this dossier almost impossible to complete.

This season, playing for Napoli, Lorenzo Lucca – valued at 25 million euros – played 20 matches: 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 pitch, the player, who has a contract until June 2028, scored two goals.
