Lorenzo Lucca is finally heading to Napoli after weeks of speculation about where he might end up, but AC Milan apparently made an attempt.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano<\/a> confirmed the agreement on social media, stating: \u201cLorenzo Lucca to Napoli, here we go! Verbal agreement in place with Udinese. Package confirmed: \u20ac9m loan fee, \u20ac26m obligation to buy clause with add-ons. The Italian striker will sign five year deal later this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milan\u2019s attempt<\/p>\n

According to Sky (via Football Italia<\/a>), Napoli have indeed beaten the competition and closed the deal for the Udinese center forward. The agreement between the parties is as Romano outlines, a total operation worth around \u20ac35m.<\/p>\n

Atalanta and Milan were keen on signing Lucca, they add. The Bergamo club had shown interest in him following the transfer of Mateo Retegui to Saudi Arabia from Al Qadsiah, but the advanced stage of the deal between Napoli and Udinese nipped any interest in the bud.<\/p>\n

The Rossoneri had also attempted a more concrete move for Lucca as the directors had proposed a swap deal, offering Udinese cash plus Lorenzo Colombo to try and convince them. It was even claimed that Massimiliano Allegri is an admirer of the Italian<\/a> and endorsed the move.<\/p>\n

The deal did not proceed given the differing points of view on the players\u2019 respective valuations. Atalanta and Milan, therefore, continue their search for a centre-forward<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lorenzo Lucca is finally heading to Napoli after weeks of speculation about where he might end up, but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-16376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
