Nottingham Forest have been linked with a move for Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca in the past few days.
On Wednesday, Gazzetta dello Sport released an interview with the player, who made it clear that he is open to moving away from Italy, having previously acquired experience of playing overseas at Ajax.
Messaggero Veneto today have taken note of several Udinese players and their potential sales in the summer.
They confirm that Lucca has ‘ended up on’ Nottingham Forest’s shortlist for the summer and they can have a crucial part to play in the race, especially if they make it to the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid have made contact for him and there is a feeling that all of this can unleash an auction for Lucca in the summer transfer window. AC Milan have already been linked with the tall forward.
A warning is presented to Nottingham Forest and other potential suitors, with the report stating that Udinese will not tolerate any lowballing.
The Italian side want a fee of €30m for the striker and if that price is met, the Pozzo family will offload the 24-year-old.
