Attention, Benfica! Lorenzo Lucca could be set for a surprise move | OneFootball

The future of Lorenzo Lucca may indeed lie in Italy, but not with a renowned team. According to reports, the news points to the alleged interest of Pisa, a team that was promoted this year to Serie A, in securing the signing of the player, who has been in negotiations with Benfica.

As reported by Alfredo Pedullà, the Italian club is the latest to show interest in Napoli’s number 27, who is looking to take his career in a new direction. Thus, the idea of staying in Italy gains even more strength, which could put an end to Benfica’s intentions of signing the 25-year-old footballer.

The same source explains that the player sees a move to Pisa as a great opportunity, being certain that he would be a first-choice option in the Italian squad, rather than having to compete for a spot with Vangelis Pavlidis, should he accept a move to the Estádio da Luz.

However, Pisa faces the tough task of overcoming competition from some big names in European football. In Italy, clubs like Juventus and Lazio have also shown some interest. Meanwhile, in England, Nottingham Forest is trying to sign Lucca. But the interest doesn’t stop there: Al Hilal wants to have the player on loan.

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 Italian Cup. In the 585 minutes played, the forward, who has a contract valid until June 2028, scored two goals.
