Calciomercato Lucumí: Juventus chase meets Bologna’s price wall

Colombian defender Jhon Lucumí has already given his consent to join Juventus, but Bologna’s high asking price keeps the transfer stalled, with a significant economic gap between the clubs. Lucumí has also outlined a preferred contract until 2031 at €2.5 million per season, a clear increase over his current Bologna wages.

Il difensore colombiano ha già dato il suo assenso ai bianconeri, ma il Bologna continua a fare muro: la distanza economica tra i club resta significativa. According to Tuttosport, the Colombian defender has indicated Juventus as his priority destination and has asked his agents to place all other offers on standby.

Juventus secures Colombian defender Lucumí in €19.5m long‑term deal

Juventus submitted an initial offer of €17 million, which was rejected by the rossoblù hierarchy. Giovanni Sartori and Marco Di Vaio continue to demand at least €25 million for the central defender, even though his contract expires in ten months.

Besiktas, Galatasaray, Nottingham Forest and Como have all shown interest, with the English club allegedly offering €20 million plus bonuses. Despite this, Lucumí’s priority remains wearing the Juventus shirt.

The main obstacle remains the agreement between the two clubs. Juventus has not yet indicated a willingness to meet Bologna’s valuation, and must now find the right formula to convince the Emilia‑Romagna side.

La distanza economica tra i club resta significativa, highlighting the stark contrast between Juventus’s eagerness to secure Lucumí and Bologna’s firm financial stance, a gap that will determine whether the transfer materialises.
