The leaders of Juventus Turin are reportedly targeting a Colombian international to strengthen their defense.
In the midst of preparing for the upcoming summer transfer window, Juventus Turin is working to strengthen their backline. The Italian club aims to sign a central defender who can bring solidity and experience to their squad. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri leaders have identified Jhon Lucumí, currently at Bologna, as a potential target.
Jhon Lucumí, a solid and experienced profile in Serie A
At 27 years old, the Colombian international (35 caps, 1 goal) has emerged as a key element of the Bologna defense. With a contract running until June 2027, he has had a successful season with 38 appearances in all competitions. While his attacking statistics are modest with 1 goal and 1 assist, he stands out for his defensive rigor, positioning, and ability to build play from the back.
A dossier monitored by FC Barcelona
However, Juventus will face competition in this pursuit. FC Barcelona has recently inquired about the player’s situation, indicating increasing interest in his profile. It now remains to be seen if Bologna will agree to sell their defender, whose consistency naturally attracts interest ahead of the summer transfer window. His value is estimated at 25 million euros.
