Lazio Still Tracking Napoli Misfit Who Shares Agent With Frattesi
Napoli outcast Lorenzo Lucca remains a target for Lazio , who are still keen to sign a centre-forward before the end of the summer.
Lazio Open a Dialogue for Davide Frattesi
In recent hours, several reliable sources in Italy confirmed the Biancocelesti's renewed interest in Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi . Claudio Lotito and co. are seemingly negotiating with the Nerazzurri, as well as the player's representative, Giuseppe Riso, whose stable could offer Lazio a solution for their attacking conundrum.

Lazio Could Also Make a Move for Lorenzo Lucca
As Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla points out, Riso is also the agent of Andrea Pinamonti and Lorenzo Lucca, two strikers who are on Lazio's shortlist.
After missing out on Franjo Ivanovic (who preferred to join RC Lens ), several sources identified Sassuolo 's Pinamonti as the Aquile's new primary target . However, Pedulla insists that Lucca remains a viable option, one that the club could revisit in the coming days.
Lucca Coming Off Difficult Experiences at Napoli & Nottingham Forest
Lucca is a well-travelled Italian striker who stands at an impressive 201 cm. The Moncalieri native enjoyed a positive spell at Udinese between 2023 and 2025, scoring 23 goals in 75 appearances before earning a €30 million move to Napoli last summer.

However, the giant centre-forward struggled for playing time under Antonio Conte, who preferred Rasmus Hojlund . In January, he joined Nottingham Forest on loan but endured a torrid time with the Reds, scoring only a single goal in nine appearances. Therefore, the 25-year-old is now looking to revive his career at a new club.
The Most Plausible Formula
Needless to say, Lazio cannot afford to buy Lucca outright this summer, especially considering his high book value and long-term contract (running until 2030), so a move to Formello is only possible if Napoli are willing to loan him out with an option (or an obligation) to buy.
