While Lorenzo Lucca is on the verge of joining Napoli, Serie A club Milan had also shown significant interest in acquiring the 24-year-old striker. However, their proposal to Udinese, which included sending Lorenzo Colombo plus a cash sum, was ultimately rejected by the Friulani side.
According to reports from SkySport, relayed by TMW, the primary reason for the failed transfer was the inability of Milan and Udinese to reach a mutual agreement on the valuation of the players involved. This disagreement led to the Rossoneri`s unsuccessful attempt to secure the forward`s services.
Lucca is now widely expected to finalize his move to Napoli. His arrival is anticipated to provide valuable reinforcements for Antonio Conte`s squad, especially following their impressive 2024-25 Scudetto victory.
Lucca Poised for Napoli Transfer Amid Milan, Atalanta Interest
Atalanta had also been linked with a potential move for the towering 2-meter striker. This interest came as the Bergamo-based club prepared for the likely sale of last season`s top scorer, Mateo Retegui, to Saudi club Al-Qadsiah. However, reports suggest that the advanced stage of negotiations between Udinese and Napoli for Lucca deterred Atalanta. Consequently, La Dea has reportedly shifted its focus to other transfer targets.
