Juventus pursues Lucumi and Muharemovic in summer transfer window

Juventus is focusing on reinforcing its defense this summer by pursuing Jhon Lucumi from Bologna and Tarik Muharemovic, a former player of Sassuolo. Bologna demands €25 million for Lucumi, rejecting Juventus's initial offer of €18-20 million. The urgency surrounding Lucumi arises from a release clause of €28 million that expires mid-July. In contrast, Juventus may secure Muharemovic at a lower cost due to a developmental clause that allows them to benefit from his prior association with the club. Muharemovic is currently representing Bosnia at the World Cup, having missed a recent match due to a suspension.
