Jhon Lucumi and Juventus have reached a full agreement over his move to the club this summer, with the Bianconeri now turning their attention towards securing an agreement with Bologna for his signature. The defender is regarded as one of the finest players in his position in Serie A and has consistently delivered strong performances for his current club. However, with only one year remaining on his contract, Lucumi wants a change of scenery and has made his preference clear. Lucumi Makes Juventus Preference Clear Juventus view Lucumi as one of the best defenders in the league and want to add him to their squad this summer. However, reaching an agreement with Bologna remains the next important step before the transfer can be completed. According to Fabrizio Romano, an agreement over personal terms has now been reached, bringing Lucumi closer to the move he wants. The defender has reportedly rejected other clubs because he wants to join Juventus, making the Bianconeri his preferred destination. Agreeing personal terms was never expected to be a major obstacle, and that part of the negotiations has now been settled. Juventus must therefore focus on reaching an agreement with Bologna, who still hold the defender’s registration. Bologna Face Juventus Negotiations Lucumi has reportedly told Bologna that Juventus are the only club he wants to join. That position could force the Italian club to negotiate primarily with the Bianconeri, potentially limiting their options in the transfer market. Bologna may have received offers from other clubs that were prepared to pay more for the defender, but Lucumi’s preference could make it difficult for them to pursue those alternatives. With the player determined to move to Turin, Juventus could have greater leverage during negotiations. The Bianconeri will now need to use that advantage to find an agreement with Bologna. Personal terms are already settled, and Lucumi appears determined to complete the move, leaving the transfer fee as the main issue to resolve. For Juventus, securing the defender would strengthen their options at the back, while Lucumi would finally be able to complete the move he has prioritised. The next stage will depend on whether Juventus and Bologna can reach common ground over the transfer fee.
