Benfica's management is looking to strengthen the team by signing Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca from Napoli, with talks between the two clubs expected to resume following renewed negotiations, according to reports from the website "Football Italia."

Coach José Mourinho is the driving force behind this deal, having identified Luka as the ideal choice to strengthen the team's attacking line.

However, Napoli insists on its financial demands, with the Italian club requesting 2 million euros for the loan, along with a fixed purchase option of 35 million euros. Benfica's management considers these terms to be high and is seeking to renegotiate to make the deal more financially viable.

On the other hand, Luka has been unable to deliver consistent performances since joining Napoli, which has led the club to be open to exploring options that would allow the striker to restart his career elsewhere. Benfica believes a compromise can be reached if Napoli agrees to adjust their valuation or the terms of a permanent transfer.
