Milan has set their eyes on Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca. The club wants to shake up their forward options this summer. Their scouts will watch him closely tonight as he leads the attack for Udinese. Many teams have noticed his strong season with 10 goals already.
Milan tried to grab him last January, but Udinese said no. They went for Santiago Gimenez instead, paying €28.5 million to Feyenoord. Lucca might cost similar money if he keeps scoring. The next Milan coach - probably Maurizio Sarri - must build the team around Gimenez because of how much they spent on him. Tammy Abraham hopes Milan will keep him permanently after his loan ends.
The club needs more Italian players in its squad. Tonight, Lucca has a chance to show Milan what he can do on the pitch. His performance might decide whether they make a move for him when the transfer window opens. Udinese knows his value keeps rising with every goal. Milan officials will pay extra attention to how he plays against their defense.
