Roma, in attack the favorite è Lucca

With the probable departure of Shomurodov to Venezia, Roma è are on the hunt for a vice-Dovbyk. The preferred name è is Lorenzo Lucca, Udinese striker, author already of 8 goals in this championship. Confirming the interest in the Italian striker was coach Claudio Ranieri himself after the away win with the Bianconeri: "We are following him. È a good player, who knowsà…".

The negotiation forò è is far from simple, becauseé the Friulian club asks for the player 20/25 million, a figure considered too high for the Giallorossi. Sporting director Ghisolfi would like to propose a loan with a redemption obligation set at 15 million, or alternatively insert as a quid pro quo some interesting youngsters such as Baldanzi or Soulé.

It remains to be seen whether Udinese will eventually deprive themselves of the player already in January or will continue to stonewall. The situation remains to be monitored as Lucca is also liked by other clubs, such as Juventus and Milan.
