The transfer market has brought the name of Lorenzo Lucca into the orbit of Sport Lisboa e Benfica. However, according to the newspaper Record, the operation is not feasible. The Italian forward was indeed suggested to the Luz structure, but the high financial demands make any potential negotiation completely prohibitive in this sporting context.

Lorenzo Lucca appeals to Mourinho, but the forward will not head to Benfica

The original information came from Italy, specifically from Ivan Zazaroni. The director of the prestigious 'Corriere dello Sport' suggested the possibility of the athlete heading to Lisbon. Despite the credibility of the source, the economic reality of this dossier directly clashes with the strict budget strategy defined by the administration led by Rui Costa.

José Mourinho greatly appreciates the physical qualities of the 2.01-meter giant. This reference profile in the area fits what the Setubal coach envisions for his squad. However, the coach's desire is not enough to overcome the financial obstacles, forcing the scouting team to actively seek other solutions.

Benfica's SAD remains on the ground searching for a striker with similar attributes. The goal is to find a valid alternative, even though the technical team shows total confidence in the existing resources. The leader believes that Vangelis Pavlidis and the young Ivanovic ensure the necessary effectiveness to compete for all titles.
