#LorenzoLucca Hits Napoli in a Mega Deal – Backup to the Beast and Potential Duo! Expect fireworks on the pitch. #NapoliTransfer #SerieAChaos #FootballMadness
Lorenzo Lucca has officially landed at Napoli, joining the squad’s retreat in Dimaro Folgarida. This Italian striker is set to be a key piece in the lineup, serving as the main backup to Lukaku and possibly sharing the field with him in some matches. It’s a straightforward addition that could shake things up, no sugarcoating needed—just pure football business as usual.
The deal isn’t cheap, with Napoli shelling out 35 million euros to secure Lucca from Udinese. That breaks down to 9 million for the loan until the 2025/26 season, plus another 26 million for the obligatory buyout next year, along with potential bonuses. It’s a hefty price tag that shows clubs aren’t messing around when they want talent.
For Udinese, this sale is a straight-up record-breaker—the most expensive in their history. As noted by Transfermarkt.it, the 35 million euros for Lucca ties the previous high from Rodrigo De Paul’s exit in 2021/22 and could climb higher if those bonuses kick in. Not bad for the Friulians, turning a player into pure profit.
Wrapping up the big sales for Udinese, another notable one in their top earners list is the sale of Alex Meret to Napoli back in 2018/19 for 26 million euros. It’s interesting how Napoli keeps popping up in these deals, underlining their knack for scouting and spending without holding back.
