Get Guardian on GoogleItalian champions Napoli completed their latest signing on Friday with the arrival of Udinese forward Lorenzo Lucca.
Lucca’s move to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona comes 24 hours after the Serie A club secured Dutch attacker Noa Lang from PSV Eindhoven.
“Napoli announces that it has loaned Lorenzo Lucca with a purchase obligation,” the club confirmed.
Local media report that the deal is costing Napoli 35 million euros including nine million for the initial loan, for the forward who earned the first of his five caps for Italy last October.
Lucca, 24, the scorer of 12 league goals for Udinese last season, will be competing for a place alongside Romelu Lukaku, Matteo Politano, Giacomo Raspadori, Giovanni Simeone, and Noa.
He joined Udinese in 2023 after spells with Palermo and Pisa in Italy and Ajax in the Netherlands.
