The transfer of Bologna defender Jhon Lucumí to Juventus is nearing completion. A total agreement has been reached, and the deal is expected to be finalized within the next few hours.
The structure of the move involves a purely cash-based transaction, with no additional players being used as makeweights in the deal. This approach aligns with the preferences of the Bologna management.
Luciano Spalletti has identified the Colombian as an ideal defensive reinforcement, citing his ability to play with his left foot, his speed in tackles, and his aggression in man-marking. Furthermore, Spalletti values his capacity to build play from the back and support the attack, alongside his competitive personality on the pitch.
Both Juventus and Lucumí are eager to finalize the move. With the primary terms settled, the clubs are now resolving minor final details before the transfer is officially confirmed.
