Serie A remains the only one of the big five leagues without a "billion-euro player." In the midweek Champions League 7th round, Premier League frontrunner Arsenal, despite rotating their squad, overcame Serie A leaders Inter Milan. It’s clear that Serie A has turned into a refuge for Premier League’s out-of-form players and aging stars, with Italian clubs showing a significant lack of strength in European contests. Italian players rarely succeed in other top five leagues, especially the Premier League, the current leading league. Now, another Italian striker is set to join the Premier League to face new challenges.
According to the latest report from Italian transfer expert Romano, Nottingham Forest has reached a final agreement with Napoli regarding the transfer of 25-year-old Italian forward Luca. Negotiations were positive and progressed rapidly, culminating in a deal.
Luca, 25 years old, valued at €25 million, stands 2.01 meters tall and is a right-footed center forward. Under Conte’s tactics this season, he has seen limited playing time, appearing 23 times across all competitions but starting only 6 matches, totaling 595 minutes, scoring 2 goals with no assists. This two-meter-tall striker will surely be an impressive presence in the Premier League. With Nottingham Forest’s New Zealand striker Wood sidelined for a long time, signing the Italian big forward Luca in the winter transfer window could be a solid reinforcement for their attack.
