Kevin De Bruyne's dream team-mate? Napoli close in on €35m signing of 6'7" striker following blockbuster addition of Man City legend
Napoli to snap up Udinese striker Lucca Will be a loan deal with an obligation to buy Target man is among tallest players in the world WHAT HAPPENED? According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal structure includes an initial €9m loan fee, followed by a mandatory purchase clause of €26m (£22.5m/$30m), which could increase through various performance-based add-ons. Scoring 14 goals and contributing two assists for Udinese, the towering striker displayed a combination of strength, positional intelligence, and finishing ability that caught the eyes of scouts across Europe. Advertisement THE BIGGER PICTURE THE BIGGER PICTURE Napoli had initially set their sights on Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez as their priority summer signing. Despite the Uruguay international showing interest in a move to Italy, Liverpool were unwilling to accept a proposed €55m (£48m/$64m) offer from the Partenopei. Napoli have since paused their pursuit of Nunez, though sources suggest the club could return with another bid once they finalise the expected departure of Victor Osimhen. Advertisement DID YOU KNOW? De Bruyne completed his switch to Napoli earlier this summer, signing a two-year deal on June 11. The Belgian maestro has already joined the squad for pre-season and shared a social media post with the caption: "First day of school! 💙". WHAT NEXT FOR NAPOLI? The acquisition of De Bruyne and now the impending arrival of Lucca, who will no doubt benefit from the Belgian's crossing ability, underscore Napoli's determination to push beyond their recent domestic success. After securing their fourth Scudetto title, the club is now setting its sights on something even more elusive, retaining the Serie A crown. Historically, Napoli have never managed to win back-to-back league titles. However, with the likes of De Bruyne orchestrating the midfield and Lucca offering fresh firepower up front, optimism is steadily growing among fans. They will open their Serie A campaign on August 23 against Sassuolo.

Juventus race for Francisco Conceicao details with FC Porto
According to O Jogo, Juventus have finally made the formal €30m offer for Francisco Conceicao, but there is a race against time to resolve some big details with FC Porto. As already reported, the release clause is only active at €30m until midnight tonight, at which point it will automatically rise to €45m. Advertisement The Bianconeri have tried and failed to get a cheaper deal after he spent last season in Turin on loan, an experience that came at a cost of €10m. They ultimately conceded that the price would not drop below €30m, but seeing as they want to pay it in three instalments rather that in one go, it won't formally be an activated release clause. Francisco Conceicao deal will be complex for Juventus Francisco Conceicao of Juventus pulls his shirt over his head during the Coppa Italia match between Juventus FC and Cagliari Calcio at Allianz Stadium on December 17, 2024 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Nonetheless, O Jogo in Portugal point out there are still quite a few details that have to be resolved and Porto insist on getting a basic deal in place before midnight. As already reported in Italy this morning, Conceicao is giving up €3m to help push the move over the line, but that is only half what he would be owed for the transfer. Advertisement As part of the contract, he would get 20 per cent of the fee if it was organised outside of the release clause, which at €30m would be €6m. epa06052221 Portuguese soccer agent Jorge Mendes (C) EPA/JUAN CARLOS HIDALGO Agent Jorge Mendes is working hard to broker the agreement and it remains to be seen who will pay that outstanding €3m to Conceicao. FC Porto want written confirmation first that this issue will be covered before going ahead with the transfer.
