Given Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee’s lackluster season-long performances in front of goal, it is no news that Manchester United is searching for a new striker this summer. The Dane has scored just one goal in the past 100 days and just eight goals this season. Ruben Amorim wants him fired in the summer after he received rightfully harsh criticism for his entire play.
The head coach’s dream is to reunite with Sporting CP’s protégé Viktor Gyokeres, but the Swede rejected a January move to Old Trafford in favor of a team that would give him Champions League football.
Since Victor Osimhen has no such demands, the Red Devils may not be able to provide him with the same; thus, they have moved on from him. With the club’s current financial situation, however, INEOS may not be able to afford his salary and Napoli’s asking price.
The player’s €35 million price tag would undoubtedly be more affordable for United, who have been linked to strikers like Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyökeres, both of whom will cost more than £60 million.
Lorenzo Lucca emerges as Man United target
Because of this, inexpensive possibilities like Liam Delap are being watched. Tuttomercatoweb has now introduced Lorenzo Lucca as a new name.
Considering that the Italian team is currently in 10th place in the Serie A standings, the Udinese striker has made an impression this season, scoring 12 goals and dishing out a few assists in 27 starts across all competitions.
His performance this season has already allowed him to establish himself in the Italian national team, and Napoli, the current Serie A leaders, are vying for his services. Although his 6′ 7″ physique has earned him the moniker “imposing,” he is incredibly quick for his size, which accounts for the increasing demand for his services.
Numerous teams are reportedly interested at the moment, including Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Manchester United, West Ham, and Atletico Madrid. Due to Lucca’s lengthy contract with Udinese and his continued rawness, some of these teams might not be prepared to shell out the €30 million required to land him.
