Napoli chief shares update on Lorenzo Lucca that could interest Benfica | OneFootball

Giovanni Manna states that Lorenzo Lucca's future is uncertain. According to reports, Napoli's sporting director admits that the club will have to carefully evaluate the situation surrounding the loan of the Italian striker, who has been mentioned as a possible winter reinforcement for Benfica.

As revealed by Ekrem Konur, the Neapolitan club, which recently won the Super Cup, does not have the necessary funds to secure a permanent transfer for Lucca, a situation that opens the door to a possible departure in January, heading for a new challenge, which pleases the Benfica management.

According to the journalist, the Napoli club, due to existing restrictions, must raise enough funds to secure the possible stay of Lorenzo Lucca in Antonio Conte's squad. Besides Benfica, clubs such as Roma, Juventus, Atalanta, and West Ham United are also keeping an eye on the situation.

However, Benfica is not only facing fierce competition for the signing of the striker. Although the Italian is highly appreciated by José Mourinho, the financial demands that the hypothetical deal could require are far beyond the means of the Reds.

In the current season, the striker, who wears Napoli's colors, has played 20 official matches. His personal record includes two goals scored over 579 minutes played across various competitions. At 25 years old, the player has a market value of 25 million euros in Serie A.
