Napoli have reportedly found new clubs for two players who were expected to depart the Italian champions this month. Winger Noa Lang is set to join Galatasaray on loan, while striker Lorenzo Lucca is heading to Nottingham Forest, according to reports from Nicolo Schira and Fabrizio Romano.
Lang has already agreed to personal terms with the Turkish champions. The Dutch international is expected to sign a four-year contract if Galatasaray activates the agreed-upon purchase option in the summer, with his salary projected to be around 4 million euros per season. The paperwork for the deal is anticipated to be finalized on Wednesday, allowing the 26-year-old to undergo his medical examination on Thursday. Nicolo Cambiaghi from Bologna could potentially replace him at Napoli.
Lucca will also move on loan, with Nottingham Forest holding an option to buy him permanently at the end of the season. The English club will pay just 1 million euros for the loan spell, with an additional 35 million euros required for a permanent transfer in the summer. The decision now rests with the 25-year-old Italian international, who has received numerous offers, but Forest's proposal is reportedly the most financially attractive.
Both Lang and Lucca arrived in the summer from PSV Eindhoven and Udinese, respectively. However, they have not only struggled for playing time under Antonio Conte but have also disappointed with their performances. The winger has managed just one goal and two assists in 26 appearances, while the striker has only found the net twice in 22 matches across all competitions.
