Udinese’s rising star Lorenzo Lucca has caught the attention of Juventus, with the club’s sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli reportedly keen on bringing the young striker to Turin. Lucca has been instrumental in Udinese’s strong start to the season, helping the team climb to third place in the Serie A standings alongside Juventus.
Calciomercato report that the 23-year-old Italian forward has impressed with his aerial ability, goal-scoring prowess, and overall performances. His recent display against Cagliari, where he scored a crucial header, exemplifies the impact he’s been having for Udinese this season.
Juventus has been in the market for a backup striker to support Dusan Vlahovic, and Lucca fits the profile they’re looking for. Giuntoli has been monitoring Lucca since his Serie B days with Pisa, and the striker’s successful transition to Serie A has only increased Juventus’ interest.
The Bianconeri are expected to continue scouting Lucca in the coming months, potentially making a move in the January transfer window. However, Udinese are unlikely to part with their star striker midway through the season, especially given their current league position.
Juventus’ need for attacking reinforcements has become more pressing due to Arkadiusz Milik’s ongoing fitness issues. The Polish striker was initially seen as a suitable backup for Vlahovic, but his unavailability has forced the club to reconsider their options.
