Udinese's Dg Collavino backs Lucca despite tough season
Il Dg Udinese, Franco Collavino, told Sky Sport that despite a “crooked” season, Lorenzo Lucca remains a strong prospect who can “take the stage” in the future, noting his ability to rebound after a difficult spell with Napoli and Nottingham Forest.
The interview, published on Google Discover under the “Fonti preferite” section of Stampa A− A+, saw Collavino warn that many transfer moves may concentrate in the final days of the market, with clubs pushing for last‑minute deals. He added that the club’s priority currently includes securing a new goalkeeper, describing it as one of the elements they are actively working on.
Collavino also presented the Friuli Venezia Giulia Cup, a pre‑season tournament where Udinese will face Barcelona and Nottingham Forest, and praised Lucca’s performance in training, saying the striker’s potential remains intact despite the recent setbacks. He believes Lucca can seize the spotlight in future campaigns if given consistent playing time.
Il Dg of Udinese reiterated his belief that Lucca’s talent will not diminish and that the forward can become a key figure in the squad’s upcoming projects.
