Overview
- Nottingham Forest took Lorenzo Lucca on loan from Napoli in January with an option to buy for €35 million.
- The striker was substituted at half-time in the Europa League loss to Fenerbahce after a first half with 10 touches, 50% passing, no shots or chances created, and all ground duels lost, per FotMob.
- Since arriving, Lucca has logged fewer than 200 minutes for Forest across competitions, scoring once on his debut at Leeds.
- Reports in Italy suggest Forest are unlikely to activate the clause, which would leave Napoli with a player under contract to 2030 whose market value has fallen.
- A Sky Sport transfer expert says Lucca’s behaviour has not gone down well with supporters, and separate reporting notes owner Evangelos Marinakis has little time to decide on a permanent deal.
