According to Sky Sport Italia, Napoli decided not to take risks waiting for feedback from Liverpool about Darwin Nunez but decided to focus on all efforts to transfer striker Lorenzo Lucca of Udina.
Partenopei considered Nunez as a top goal for the striker position and negotiated with the British team for weeks, but the failure to achieve progress and the growing attention of competitors like AC Milan and Atalanta to Luca forced Serie A champion to change the strategy.
Accordingly, Napoli decided to abandon the Nunez transfer deal, who had many knots from negotiating with Liverpool to the transfer fee as well as the bonus for the Uruguay player. That is why Napoli shifted to Lita and has achieved personal terms with this player. Napoli is in the final negotiation phase with Udinese, discussing details about bonuses and additional terms. The total cost for this deal is expected to be about 34 million euros.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano turned on the spell “Here We Go” in this deal with the post: “Lorenzo Lucca comes to Napoli, let's start! The mouth agreement has been achieved with Udinese.
Luca is 24 years old, has a height of 2m01 and joins UDinese from Pisa for 8 million euros last summer after a loan. Before that, he used to play for Ajax, Palermo and Torino. Last season, Luca scored 12 goals after 33 appearances in Serie A, attracting the attention of many leading clubs.
With the recruitment of Luca, Napoli will definitely let Victor Osimhen leave during the transfer window this summer. The Nigerian striker has just returned after the loan contract with Galatasaray and is likely to continue to play for the Turkish champion next season when the teams are negotiating on a broken contract.
