Lorenzo Lucca (born 10 September 2000) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie B club Pisa and the Italy national under-21 team.

Club career[]

Early career[]

Born in Moncalieri, Lucca began playing youth football for the Torino youth academy at age eight. He later moved to Chieri, a club in the province of Turin, but was discarded and allowed to join Atletico Torino.[2] With Atletico Torino, he made his senior debut at age 16 in the Italian sixth-tier (Promozione), scoring two goals.[3][4][5] The following season Lucca was signed by Vicenza, with whom he made his professional debut in 2018 at the age of 17 during a Serie C league game against Sambenedettese.[6]

Lucca was recalled by Torino in 2018 and loaned to Brescia. After scoring 16 goals in 18 games for the Brescia primavera youth side, he was called back at Torino in 2019 and played for the Toro primavera side for the first half of the 2019–20 season.[6]

Palermo[]

On 31 January 2020, Lucca left Torino to join Palermo in Serie D on a free transfer.[7] He only played three games for the Rosanero as part of the 2019–20 Serie D season which ended in promotion to Serie C for the club, also due to the league halt following the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.

On July 2020, Lucca signed his first professional contract, penning a four-year deal with the Rosanero.[8] For the 2020–21 Serie C season, Lucca started as a understudy to Andrea Saraniti, but soon broke into the first team and became the team topscorer by February, breaking the 10-goal threshold after scoring a brace against Turris.[9]
