Lorenzo Lucca - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Fires three shots against Juventus Lucca generated three shots (one on goal), three clearances and one block and drew four fouls in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Juventus.

Impact Lucca filled in for Rasmus Hojlund (illness) and had a better performance than his previous ones, pacing his team in attempts, but Guglielmo Vicario brilliantly denied his best effort. The starter shouldn't be out for long. Lucca has taken one or more shots in four appearances on the trot, totaling six (one on target). He has yet to score this season.

Returns to action Lucca (ankle) made a substitute appearance in Wednesday's friendly versus Osasuna.

Impact Lucca worked his way back from an ankle sprain that sidelined him for a couple of weeks and won't face any limitation ahead of the Serie A opener. It appears at the moment that either he or Romelu Lukaku will stay at the club to back up Rasmus Hojlund.

Picks up mild ankle injury Lucca suffered a right-ankle sprain during a recent friendly and is set to miss two weeks, Corriere dello Sport relayed.

Returns to Napoli Lucca will return to Napoli following the conclusion of his loan spell at Nottingham Forest, the club announced.

Makes brief appearance in UEL loss Lucca (ankle) took one shot (one on goal) as a substitute during Thursday's Europa League loss to Midtjylland.

Impact Lucca is an option again following his two-week absence due to injury. He has been in and out of the starting lineup, getting some opportunities to produce with the Forest facing multiple competitions, but he has scored just one goal over six EPL or UEL appearances since joining the club on loan from Napoli. Thus, he may have only a slight chance of displacing Igor Jesus from the center-forward spot.

Impact Lucca is currently in Roma undergoing medical scans after picking up a minor ankle knock in the clash against Fenerbahce, an issue that already ruled him out of Forest's last two outings. The striker remains a question mark for Thursday's Europa League battle with FC Midtjylland and will likely need further checks before a final call is made. Lucca has mostly been used as a bench weapon for Nottingham this season, so his potential absence would only have a limited impact on the starting lineup.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Scores debut goal Lucca scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Friday's 3-1 loss against Leeds United.

Impact Lucca's late header marked the lone Nottingham Forest goal Friday as they fell in a 3-1 road defeat at the hands of Leeds United. After scoring 12 goals across 33 appearances (27 starts) with Udinese during the 2024/25 season, Lucca was deemed excess after his first 16 appearances (four starts) in a Napoli shirt. Expect Lucca to compete for minutes at striker with Igor Jesus.

Man City set to lose loyal servant with Pep Guardiola stalwart on course to complete transfer to Premier League rivals

Joins Forest on loan Lucca has completed a loan move from Napoli to Nottingham Forest until the end of the 2025/26 season, his new club announced Friday.

Impact Lucca will add some much-needed depth upfront for the Trick Trees, as they're missing Chris Wood (knee) and could also lose Igor Jesus (hip) to injury. Lucca should be a plug-and-play option upfront. He notched one goal in 16 appearances (four starts) with Napoli in the 2025/26 Serie A campaign.

Takes one shot against Verona Lucca (illness) drew one foul and had one pass and one off-target shot in 14 minutes in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Verona.

Impact Lucca played alongside Rasmus Hojlund late in the game while Napoli were trying to complete their comeback. It may happen again if David Neres misses more time because of an ankle injury. Lucca hasn't started since late October and has logged three off-target shots and one chance created in his last nine cameos.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option Lucca (illness) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Verona.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Missing versus Lazio Lucca won't play against Lazio because of a fever, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Sent off Tuesday Lucca was sent off during Tuesday's clash with PSV for a straight red card.

Impact Lucca failed to get on the scoresheet and was handed his marching orders during Tuesday's match. That will put the striker on the sideline for a Nov. 4 clash with Frankfurt. The hope will be to get Rasmus Hojlund back for that match, with Lucca still able to play in domestic action.

Nets important goal Lucca scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 3-2 victory against Pisa.

Impact Lucca scored an important goal during Monday's win, doing well leading the line for a limited time, making the most of a goal. Being efficient is important, especially as Napoli rotate across all competitions.

Held in check by Sassuolo Lucca drew three fouls, committed five fouls and recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Lucca was fairly energetic but didn't have a great Napoli debut overall. He'll face the task of replacing Romelu Lukaku (thigh) in the early going, but Napoli intend to bring in another high-profile striker, so he'll have to produce to keep his job. He scored 12 goals with Udinese last season.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to Napoli Lucca has joined Napoli on loan with an obligation to buy from Udinese.

Impact Lucca heads to a top team after two good seasons at Udinese, during which he bagged 20 goals and provided five assists combined. He totaled 65 shots (26 on target), 14 key passes and five crosses (zero accurate) in 33 games (27 starts) in 2024/2025. He'll deputize Romelu Lukaku and occasionally partner with him at Napoli.

JULY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again Lucca scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Fiorentina.

Impact To cap off his 2024-25 season, Lucca has scored in consecutive games. Even though the striker was unsuccessful at logging multiple assists this campaign, he still recorded a better G/A. With 26 shots on target for another season, Lucca scored 12 goals. It is safe to say that the Serie A has been an adequate base for his current career, so he will come off as a more secure and promising option come this summer.
