Lucca’s last‑minute gamble: Genoa eyes loan as window closes

Napoli striker Lorenzo Lucca could see his future change in the final days of the summer transfer window as Genoa monitor him for a possible loan move. The Genoa board, looking to bolster their attack, have identified Lucca as a last‑minute option, provided Napoli agree to let him leave on loan.

For the deal to materialise, Napoli must be prepared to release Lucca, thereby freeing a roster spot for an incoming striker the club may sign before the window shuts.

Potential loan hinges on Napoli's decision

Genoa’s interest is focused on securing a forward who can contribute immediately, but the club has made it clear that the loan will only proceed if Napoli consents to the temporary departure.

In addition to Lucca, the Ligurian side are also tracking Milan striker Santiago Gimenez. Milan, which originally contemplated a permanent sale, has now opened up to a loan arrangement, expanding Genoa’s options.

The presence of Genoa captain Vasquez, who shares a nationality with Gimenez, could facilitate the Mexican forward’s move, adding another layer to the club’s recruitment strategy.
