Overview
- Juventus and Jhon Lucumí reached agreement on personal terms for a five‑year deal, according to multiple reports, moving the transfer significantly closer to completion.
- Bologna is holding a mid‑€20m asking price after Lucumí's €28m release clause expired, and the two clubs have not yet agreed a transfer fee.
- Juventus have proposed makeweights such as Juan Cabal and Fabio Miretti to reduce the cash outlay while Bologna initially preferred a straight permanent fee.
- The player has made Juventus his first choice and has paused other offers, a position that increased pressure on Bologna during talks reported on Friday.
- With Lucumí's contract expiring in June 2027 and several Premier League clubs still interested, Bologna faces a short window to sell this summer or risk losing him for free next year.
