Bologna target Lucca after Napoli and Nottingham Forest loan ends
Lorenzo Lucca, a Napoli-owned striker currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, is expected to return to the Stadio Maradona after his six-month spell. Bologna have now resumed their interest in the Italian forward, marking their third attempt to sign him after unsuccessful approaches in 2022 and during the January 2026 transfer window. The Rossoblu previously lost out when Lucca chose to join Ajax from Pisa in 2022, and again when Nottingham Forest made a more convincing offer to loan him from Napoli in January. Bologna are now positioning themselves as a potential destination for the striker for the 2026-27 season.

The loan spell at Nottingham Forest appears unsuccessful, creating an opportunity for Bologna to finally secure the player after two previous failed attempts. Given Lucca's limited impact at Forest and previous offers, Bologna may now have a stronger negotiating position with Napoli to either purchase or loan the striker.
