Lorenzo Lucca was highly sought after by many clubs in the January transfer market, but Udinese fended off all approaches, postponing any discussions until the end of the season.
The Piedmontese striker has willingly accepted the decision made by the Udinese club and is now focused solely on scoring with the consistency that has defined his season so far: he has netted 9 goals to date, with only Moise Kean and Mateo Retegui doing better among Italian forwards.
What is Lorenzo Lucca's price tag?
If there is one club in Italy that has mastered the art of developing talent and selling at the right moment, it is Udinese. The Pozzo family always knows when to sell and what strategy to adopt to maximize profit. From Handanovic to Sanchez to De Paul, the list is so long that it would deserve a separate deep dive. The next in line will almost certainly be Lorenzo Lucca, for whom a valuation of €30 million has already been set.
Napoli and Inter are interested in Lorenzo Lucca... Is Milan still interested in him?
A fierce all-Italian bidding war is expected for Lorenzo Lucca. In January, the 2000-born striker was on the Rossoneri club's shortlist, but interest faded following the arrival of Santiago Gimenez. Meanwhile, Roma and Napoli are firmly in the race, having been in contact with his agent, Giuseppe Riso, for several weeks. Two major destinations for a striker who is now ready to make the leap to a top club, as per Calciomercato.com.
