The history of the club was written yesterday by Ajax, who officially announced the transfer of the first Italian footballer ever to sign for the club. Many have come and gone through the dressing room of the Amsterdam giant, but never before has a football player from ‘the Boot’ put his initials on a contract with the Amsterdamers. That changed this Thursday, as Pisa striker Lorenzo Lucca arrived in the ranks of the Dutch champions.It’s not exactly a name that turns heads of the general football public when first mentioned, but if Ajax signed him, it carries a certain weight. The young Italian international and member of the second division team from Tuscany arrived on a one-year loan with the label of a talented striker. The Amsterdamers will pay exactly one million euros for his one-year tempering, which is essentially nothing for a club that earned more than 110 million euros from sales this summer – it’s not much even if they haven’t made that money – and the eventual benefit could be multiple.##NAJAVA_MECA_6548976##Ajax also agreed with Pisa on a purchase option in the amount of 10 million euros next summer. Lucca arrived in Pisa from Palermo last summer for a little over two million euros and in the first season, he had a record of six goals and four assists, which was apparently enough to make a transfer of his career. Even for a year. Interestingly, he collected all six of his goals in the first seven games for Pisa, when he showed strength and resourcefulness in the penalty area. Later, his physicality dropped significantly and he caused problems with his lack of discipline. By the way, one of his best friends is Moise Kean.Benvenuto, Lorenzo Lucca! 🇮🇹— AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) August 4, 2022 In recent days, Lucca was seen as a reinforcement of Bologna, but when Ajax got involved, everything turned in the direction of a move to the Netherlands. Certainly, for the 21-year-old centre-forward, this will be the experience of a lifetime, even if he does not manage to sign a permanent stay.
