Attributed to original sourceLecce are the favourites to snap up Scotland Under-21 international striker Robbie Ure, currently at IK Sirius, but seem a long way off the €4m asking price.
According to Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà , the Salentini are in active pursuit of the 22-year-old centre-forward.
However, their proposal so far is believed to be just €1.8m plus a 20-25 per cent cut of his future sale fee.
That is nowhere near the asking price set by Swedish club Sirius, which is of €4m plus add-ons and a percentage of the sell-on fee.

There is no shortage of interest, with the likes of Celtic, OGC Nice, TSG Hoffenheim, FC Lorient and RC Strasbourg all sniffing around the forward.
Originally coming through the Glasgow Rangers academy, he moved to Belgium for RSCA Futures in 2023, then to Sweden in March 2025.

What happened
Lecce have been linked with a move for young Scottish player Ure, but the financial terms represent a significant obstacle. The Serie A side are described as being a long way off the €4m valuation placed on the player. The report comes from Football Italia, suggesting this is still in the early rumour phase with no negotiations close to being completed. It remains to be seen whether Lecce will attempt to negotiate a lower fee or move on to alternative targets.
Chance analysis
For Lecce, a small-to-mid budget Serie A club, a €4m outlay on an unproven young talent is a significant commitment that would need careful financial justification. The reported gap between Lecce's valuation and the asking price suggests this deal is unlikely to progress without either a fee reduction or creative structuring (loan, add-ons, sell-on clauses). From a prediction standpoint, this is background information with no immediate squad impact unless the transfer materializes before the window closes.
No immediate impact on Lecce's squad or upcoming matches; transfer remains in speculative phase with a significant fee gap to bridge.
Treat Ure as a hypothetical Lecce addition only; no fantasy/lineup impact until a deal is confirmed.
