According to Il Mattino, Napoli and Nottingham Forest are not only in talks for Lorenzo Lucca, as Dan Ndoye and Mathias Olivera have also been involved in negotiations.

Nottingham Forest have sent an offer to sign Napoli striker Lucca on loan with an option to buy, but according to the latest report from Il Mattino, two other players could be included in the deal.

According to the report, Forest have shown interest in Napoli left wing-back Olivera, which could prompt the Premier League side to offer ex-Bologna winger Ndoye to the Partenopei.

Napoli already chased Ndoye over the summer, before Forest eventually struck a deal with Bologna and the Swiss winger.

Sky Sport Italia reported earlier in January that Napoli had inquired about Ndoye in the winter transfer window, but didn’t find Forest’s willingness to discuss the winger’s exit.

Ndoye has scored two goals and provided one assist in 23 appearances across all competitions this season, collecting just 344 minutes in Premier League matches.
