Napoli striker Lorenzo Lucca refused to speak to reporters as he flew out for his Nottingham Forest medical, on loan for โฌ2m with option to buy for a further โฌ35m.
He was visibly irritated as he arrived at the airport, refusing to answer questions from Sportitalia reporters, who asked if he had a message for the Napoli fans, or if there was something he wouldโve done differently.
The centre-forward had only joined from Udinese over the summer, but struggled to make an impact or impress coach Antonio Conte, even when an injury crisis reduced the options to the bare minimum.
It was decided he should leave for a different experience, and although Serie A minnows Pisa were interested, Nottingham Forest ultimately got a deal over the line.

Multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia are confident it is a loan worth โฌ2m for six months, with an option to buy at the end of the season for another โฌ35m.
He had joined from Udinese last summer on loan for โฌ9m with an obligation to buy for a further โฌ26m plus โฌ5m in add-ons, so it basically means Napoli will get their money back if the transfer is completed.
Lucca scored two goals in 23 competitive appearances for Napoli this season.
