Como increase efforts for Lucumí as Bologna seek €23m

Como are intensifying their pursuit of defender Jhon Lucumí from Bologna, preparing to meet an asking price of approximately €23 million. The Colombian centre-back had expressed a desire to leave Bologna last year, but the transfer did not materialize until this summer. While Como is optimistic due to their Champions League presence next season, Lucumí reportedly prefers a move to Juventus, a long-time suitor. Bologna is open to selling if their valuation is satisfied.
