is according to radio marsWho are following the 25-year-old’s latest situation at Nottingham Forest.

In July 2025, Udinese allowed the striker to join Napoli on loan with an obligation to buy. He struggled under Antonio Conte and there were question marks over his attitude at the Naples club.

Despite this, the Serie A side made his stay permanent in January and immediately sent him on loan to Nottingham Forest. When he arrived at the City Ground, Sean Dyche was in charge.

Last month, the Reds parted ways with the former Everton boss and appointed Vitor Pereira as his successor.

Nottingham Forest player’s mystery revealed

The Italy international started in Nottingham Forest’s 2-1 home defeat to Fenerbahce in the Europa League. Despite the defeat, the English club has made it to the next round of the competition.

The Napoli-owned player has not appeared for the Premier League team since. Earlier this month, Sport Witness Claims broadcast from Italy Questions are being raised on his attitude at the city ground.

four days ago, game witness Italy’s claims covered again He stressed that there was no clarity on Perera’s decision to remove Lucca.

Pereira left him out of the squad for the Premier League matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City.

Radio Marte State: ‘Urban legends suggest character issues, such as those that emerged in Napoli.’

However, the reality is different as Lucca is ‘suffering from an ankle problem’. The report said this was why he was substituted after the break against the Turkish club. There is no mention or indication of how long Lucca may be out of action.

Lucca’s contract situation at the City Ground

The frontman made his Nottingham Forest debut in a 3–1 Premier League defeat to Leeds United in February. He came off the bench to score for the Reds and it remains his only goal so far.

Tottenham Hotspur have now completed the process that was blocking attempts to lift Santos’ transfer ban.

After several days of waiting for vital documents surrounding Souza’s £12.8m (€15m) north London transfer, Santos have officially settled their outstanding loan with FC Arauca. Bolavip In Brazil.

The Brazilian club paid €2.5m (£2.1m) to settle an issue over the transfer of defender Joao Basso. As a result, FIFA would remove Santos from its sanction list and the club could once again register players.

Christian Oliva, their newly signed midfielder who was unable to play due to a ban, is now expected to be registered immediately.

delay to resolution

Earlier this week, We covered Brazilian reports Adding that Santos was waiting for a formal document from Tottenham before finalizing the payment to Arauca. That delay effectively kept the transfer ban in place. Now the matter has been resolved.

Although the exact administration timeline has not been publicly detailed, the key point is that the funds associated with the Tottenham deal have now been used to unlock the position.

Interestingly, this came after Santos had structured an international banking operation to bring forward their share of the Souza fee, using Spurs’ financial credibility as the backbone of the arrangement. The club was expected to receive approximately £13.7m (€16.2m) from the deal.

So the recent blockage appeared to be procedural rather than structural. The payment has now been made.

What does it mean beyond the ban

The immediate benefits are obvious. Santos can register new signings and continue squad planning without any restrictions. However, it has wider implications financial breathing space.

Tottenham’s money simply does not solve the €2.5m (£2.1m) debt. It also strengthens Santos’ short-term liquidity during the delicate restructuring phase. The club’s total debt remains significant, and cash flow management is important.

In practical terms, Spurs’ transfer fee has helped Santos stabilize operations and maintain momentum in the market.

For Tottenham, this concludes a small but closely watched side story. For Santos, it restores flexibility — and gives him room to use remaining funds strategically rather than fire restrictions. Meanwhile, Souza is still waiting for his Spurs debut.
