Nottingham Forest unhappy with on-loan Napoli man Lucca

Nottingham Forest have decided against triggering their option to permanently sign Lorenzo Lucca, according to reliable transfer journalist Nicolò Schira, confirming what his performances this season have long suggested was coming.

The Italian striker joined Forest on loan from Napoli in January, with the English club holding a purchase option worth €35 million.

That clause will not be exercised, with Schira reporting that Forest are simply not satisfied with what Lucca has produced since his arrival at the City Ground.
