Tuttomercato reports that there is an agreement between Universitario de Deportes and Gianluca Lapadula for his transfer. L1Max reports that Universitario de Deportes has reached an agreement with Lapadula for a contract lasting one and a half years. The player has accepted all the terms and is ready to join the club. His transfer is currently blocked by his contract with Spezia, which is valid until June 30. Universitario and coach Hector Cuper want Lapadula to be available immediately so he can be integrated before the Clausura championship begins on July 18. Another meeting is scheduled between the parties to find a solution for his early release.

According to Tuttomercato, Gianluca Lapadula was at the center of several transfer rumors during the summer, but none were finalized. He remains at Spezia, where his role has changed significantly. There is also speculation about possible new opportunities for him to leave the club when the transfer window reopens in January.

Gianluca Lapadula, the 35-year-old Peruvian international striker, has been at the center of transfer rumors for some time, but none have materialized so far. He might be excluded from the team list if a new left-winger, such as Beruatto from Pisa or Sernicola from Cremonese, is acquired before the transfer window closes. His contract is set to expire in June 2026 and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €750k. Pescara and Bari 1908 are among the clubs to have been linked with a move for the player.
