The leaders of Juventus Turin are targeting a Colombian international to strengthen their defense.
In the midst of preparing for the upcoming summer transfer window, Juventus Turin is working to bolster its backline. The Italian club aims to recruit a central defender capable of providing solidity and experience to its squad. According to information from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri leaders have identified the name of Jhon Lucumí, currently linked to Bologna.
Jhon Lucumí, a solid and experienced profile in Serie A
At 27 years old, the Colombian international (35 caps, 1 goal) has established himself as a key element of the Bolognese defense. Under contract until June 2027, he is having a successful season with 38 appearances in all competitions. While his statistics are modest with 1 goal and 1 assist, he stands out for his defensive rigor, positioning, and ability to initiate clean plays.
A dossier monitored by FC Barcelona
However, Juventus will face competition for this dossier. FC Barcelona has recently inquired about the player’s situation, indicating a growing interest in his profile. It remains to be seen whether Bologna will agree to transfer their defender, whose consistency naturally attracts attention in anticipation of the summer transfer window. He is valued at 25 million euros.
