An Italian giant may seek a discount for Lucca, suggesting Udinese’s January transfer could be off.

The potential January transfer of Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca to Juventus is becoming increasingly complicated, according to reports from Tuttosport.

Udinese are reportedly setting a high asking price for the forward, who has also made his way into Luciano Spalletti’s national team squad.

The Friulian club are said to be demanding up to €20 million for the player’s transfer.

This development poses a significant hurdle for Juventus, who have shown interest in Lucca as they look to bolster their attacking options.

However, the valuation set by Udinese could prove to be a stumbling block in negotiations between the clubs.

As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether Juventus can meet these demands or if Udinese will consider lowering their asking price to facilitate the move.
