Nottingham Forest now expected to sign Napoli’s Lorenzo Lucca | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest are closing in on the signing of Napoli striker Lorenzo Lucca, with the Premier League side now confident of finalising a deal in the coming hours.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the 25-year-old forward has spent the last few days weighing up his future but Forest have moved decisively to secure his signature. The English club is so optimistic about reaching a total agreement that a private plane is already standing by to transport the Italian international to the UK for his medical.

While Pisa have made a strong, late push to bring Lucca back to Tuscany—a destination the player held in high regarD, Forest’s project appears to have won out. The deal is expected to be a loan with a significant purchase option, allowing Antonio Conte’s side to clear space in the squad for their own incoming targets.

Barring any last-minute hitches, Lucca is expected to complete his move to the City Ground by the end of the day, bringing a swift end to his six-month stay in Naples.
