There is speculation about a potential loan return to Udinese for 26-year-old Italian centre-forward Lorenzo Lucca. Speaking to the club's official television channel, Udinese's transfer director Gian Luca Nani stated he found the rumor to be strange as the player earns a salary that is unthinkable for Udinese. Nani said he is inclined to rule out the possibility, adding that the club does not think it is right to begin negotiations for such a transfer.
