Napoli, Lucca in high demand: Porto also keen on the Azzurri striker | OneFootball

One of the outgoing market players for Napoli is Lorenzo Lucca, who moved to Campania only this summer for a sum that reached 35 million euros, including a paid loan and a mandatory purchase option. However, the impact of the former Udinese player has not been the best, with only two goals scored and few opportunities to perform well. Sporting director Giovanni Manna has spoken of a real rejection towards him.

Napoli, there's a queue for Lucca: the player is also liked by Porto

According to Alfredo Pedullà, besides Benfica, Nottingham Forest, and Real Betis, Porto, led by Davide Farioli, is also interested in the Napoli striker. They like Lucca and might decide to focus on him. The number 27 of the Azzurri is not yet 100% a player for Conte's team since the purchase obligation activates upon reaching the first point in February. However, given Napoli's need to make economic space for a player to allow the entry of other elements for a zero-balance market, the Azzurri have no problem advancing the payment of the 26 million euro purchase option a few weeks before the agreed date.
