Lorenzo Lucca is ready to undergo his medicals with Napoli before completing an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy from Udinese.

Udinese striker Lucca will undergo medical tests with Napoli today. The Italian striker will complete a loan deal with an obligation to buy in a transfer package worth €35m.

Napoli received Lucca discount

Napoli convinced Udinese to lower their demands, as the Bianconeri initially asked for €40m, including easily achievable bonuses.

The Partenopei, however, managed to secure a slight discount and tie the bonuses to more challenging targets that could be achieved at a team level.

Surely, the defending champions would be happy to pay those bonuses at the end of the season as it would mean they have achieved important objectives in the 2025-26 season.

Busy summer transfer window for Napoli

The towering striker is expected to undergo medical tests with the Partenopei today.

Napoli have had a busy transfer window so far, having already welcomed Kevin De Bruyne and Luca Mariannucci, with Noa Lang and Sam Beukema set to be announced.
