Lorenzo Lucca has not had a positive time of things since checking in at Nottingham Forest.
The Italian striker was added to the ranks to accommodate Sean Dyche’s style of football, but just weeks after his arrival, the head coach departed.
Lucca scored on his debut by grabbing a consolation goal against Leeds United, but otherwise, he’s been unable to impress Vitor Pereira.
If Morgan Gibbs-White doesn’t make it tonight which of these four Nottingham Forest players should get the nod?
Forest hold a purchase option to sign Lucca for £37 million, but now, news of his next club has come to light ahead of tonight’s Europa League semi-final with Aston Villa.

Lorenzo Lucca eyed by Serie A outfit
According to Tutto Mercato Web, Lucca will be leaving Forest during the summer transfer window.
There is absolutely no way the Reds will be activating their purchase option this summer, and Fiorentina could be the next club eyeing his services.
The Italian outfit are going to survive in Serie A this season, and they want to kick on next season.
Moise Kean could get a big move elsewhere in Europe, and that will leave Fiorentina with a big gap to fill in their attacking unit.
Forest will have to learn some lessons when it comes to recruitment, and the signing of Lucca has felt like a disaster from the moment he arrived.
Give us TWO ways Vitor Pereira can finally lead Nottingham Forest to a rare win at Villa Park in the second leg…
The young striker’s application looks way below the required standard, and he’s certainly not really looked like a player Pereira can place his faith in.
It’s positive news that Lucca is going to be on his way elsewhere in the summer and now, the hope will be that Pereira stays and the recruitment can be more aligned with long-term planning.
