Juventus approaches Bologna about defender Jhon Lucumí this summer
Summary

Juventus has initiated inquiries regarding Bologna center back Jhon Lucumí, who is currently representing Colombia at the 2026 World Cup. With one year remaining on his contract and a €28 million release clause expiring in mid-July, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti aims to strengthen the defense. The team's offseason focus has largely been on replacing striker Dusan Vlahovic, but the defense remains a pressing concern. Lucumí's performance and his potential move to Turin could be affected by transfer market dynamics as the summer progresses.
