January is approaching, and the transfer market promises to be intense for Napoli, with much-needed midfield reinforcements and potential departures in attack. Among the players on the line is Lorenzo Lucca, who arrived on loan from Udinese with an obligation to buy, estimated at around €30 million.
Initially, he was supposed to be Lukaku's backup. However, the Belgian's serious injury changed the situation. The arrival of Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United, already a key player with goals and impressive performances, further complicated Lucca's prospects. With Big Rom close to returning, the competition in attack becomes even fiercer.
So far, the 2000-born striker has played just over 500 minutes overall, scoring two goals. These numbers aren't enough to earn him a spot in the national team, and Conte's decision is clear: with Hojlund and Lukaku in the squad, Lucca's playing time remains limited. Interest from top clubs increases his chances of leaving.
Roma, after evaluating Evan Ferguson and focusing on Joshua Zirkzee, consider Lucca a viable alternative, under certain conditions. Milan, who had already explored the player this summer, are closely monitoring the situation, given the less than convincing performances of Gimenez and Nkunku. If Napoli were to opt for a loan, the bidding process between the two clubs could begin immediately.
