Pisa’s gold could still be Lorenzo Lucca. The Nerazzurri club is in fact following with interest, albeit from afar, the development of negotiations for the transfer of the player from Udinese, a team to which Sporting Club has just sold him for 8 million euros. Pisa has in fact kept a percentage of the future resale of 10% and could collect an additional 1.2 or 1.3 million euros from the transfer of the player from rivals Fiorentina, who are negotiating with the Friulians. The Viola club has in fact had its eye on him for some time and is trying to reach an agreement with Udinese for 12-13 million euros. A nice move, which would allow the Nerazzurri to generate a real treasure trove over time.
In summary, Pisa spent approximately 2 million euros, plus bonuses, to buy the player from Palermo in 2021. A year after the loan transfer for one million euros to Ajax, while during this season Udinese first spent 800 thousand euros for the loan, then 8 million to redeem the player’s registration. The Nerazzurri have already collected 9.8 million euros in total, but they could exceed 10 million with the activation of the clause for the player’s transfer to Fiorentina, bringing the total figure virtually to 11 million euros.
In the meantime, the announcement of Pippo Inzaghi on the Nerazzurri bench could arrive at any time, even if it is only bureaucracy that is preventing the signature at the moment. The coach will arrive in Pisa in the next few days and has already been in contact with Pisa on the market for days. Inzaghi has reportedly asked for a trio of players from which to start, namely Nicolas Viola and Gianluca Lapadula from Cagliari.
The first two have been in the works for days. The Nerazzurri club has proposed a one-year contract with an option to renew for a second year, but negotiations are also underway for a two-year deal. In fact, Viola has not renewed with Cagliari and has been free on the market since yesterday, even though the Sardinians continue to negotiate and his future is not yet written. The 34-year-old could be one of the first signings, replacing Miguel Veloso, who is also free on the market, but also Barberis, in that key role of defensive midfielder. The path leading to Lapadula, under contract with the Sardinians until 2026, is slightly more complex. However, the Peruvian is stirring the interests of numerous clubs. Cagliari has included him in the list of unsold players and he is tempting many Serie B clubs. Lapadula was eliminated with his Peru from the Copa America, which is taking place in the USA, after the 2-0 defeat against Argentina in the last match of the group stage. Instead, we are waiting for the green light for the arrival of midfielder Samuel Ballet, born in 2001, from Como on loan with the right to buy.
