Watch out, Benfica! Pisa could ruin Rui Costa’s plans for Lorenzo Lucca | OneFootball

Pisa is doing everything to prevent Lorenzo Lucca from leaving the Italian league. According to reports, the Serie A club is determined to keep the Napoli striker who, despite being on Benfica’s radar, is closer to becoming a winter signing for Nottingham Forest.

According to Alfredo Pedullà, Pisa, which recently earned promotion to the Italian top flight, wants to keep Lorenzo Lucca and, according to the same source, is doing everything possible to convince the 25-year-old striker not to head to the Premier League.

The Italian journalist goes further and assures that the management of the Italian club will present a proposal of 2 million euros, double what Forest would pay for the player’s loan, in order to persuade Napoli’s management to let the striker stay in Serie A.

It’s worth remembering that Benfica was also heavily linked by both national and international media with a move for Lucca. However, Napoli’s high financial demands, as the club needs to comply with UEFA’s restrictions, have cooled the Eagles’ interest in the player.

This season, playing for Napoli, Lorenzo Lucca — valued at 25 million euros — has played 22 official matches: 16 in Serie A, four in the Champions League, one in the Super Cup, and one in the Coppa Italia. In the 585 minutes played, the striker, who is under contract until June 2028, has scored two goals.
