The leaders of Juventus Turin are aiming for a Colombian international to strengthen their defense.
In the midst of preparing for the upcoming summer transfer window, Juventus Turin is working to bolster their backline. The Italian club is looking to recruit a central defender capable of bringing solidity and experience to their squad. According to information from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri executives have set their sights on 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 Bologna defense. Under contract until June 2027, he is having a successful season with 38 appearances in all competitions. While his statistics are not outstanding, with 1 goal and 1 assist, he stands out for his defensive rigor, positioning, and ability to cleanly initiate attacks.
A case monitored by FC Barcelona
However, Juventus will have to contend with competition for this transfer. FC Barcelona has recently inquired about the player’s situation, indicating a growing interest in his profile. It remains to be seen if Bologna will agree to sell their defender, whose consistency naturally attracts interest ahead of the summer transfer window. He is valued at €25 million.
