Saša Lukić’s decision to leave Torino for Fulham last January hasn’t yet completely paid off.
Marco Silva has handed him only eight league starts out of which four are from this season. To put it in perspective, he’s clocked in 48 minutes from the last 10 league games.
Napoli could offer the Fulham player an escape route this month if Area Napoli is to be believed.
The Serie A winners’ president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has promised new signings in the winter market and has already started taking action.
The Serbia international has been identified as a midfield target and ‘talks are underway’ with Fulham over a loan deal with an option to buy.
Although the Italian champions are negotiating with Udinese for Lazar Samardžić, the report states they are also keeping other options open.
This seems to be where Lukić fits in and since he knows the league well, he could be useful for Walter Mazzarri during rotations.
For now, there’s an ‘open dialogue’ between Napoli and Fulham and it needs to be seen if the former are ready to take the necessary step to sign Lukić.
