Jhon Lucumi is in limbo, as Bologna admitted he could leave, but the talks with Juventus are stalling, and Inter and a few foreign clubs could easily overtake the Bianconeri<\/em> if they loosened their purse strings, Il Resto Del Carlino<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n CEO Claudio Fenucci addressed the future of the defender.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s under contract with us. The fact that there\u2019s just one year on it doesn\u2019t affect his valuation. He could depart because we made a promise to him a year ago, when we kept him despite an offer that could have changed his career. However, the bid has to be proper.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sunderland had matched his \u20ac28M release clause, although after it had expired, and had tendered \u20ac3M wages, but the Felsinei<\/em> insisted on retaining him.<\/p>\n Juventus haven\u2019t dangled that much at this stage for Lucumi, while Inter see him as a fallback target relative to John Stones and Cristian Romero.<\/p>\n Bologna are hoping for a bidding war and wish Manchester United and Chelsea would join the race after completing some exits. Besiktas, which hired their former coach Vincenzo Italiano, are also interested. The center-back might wait for more prestigious landing spots, though.<\/p>\n As for the Nerazzurri<\/em>, Al-Hilal have inquired about Alessandro Bastoni with his entourage, Gianluca Di Marzio reports. His agent told Sky<\/em> that the permanence was likely, but didn\u2019t completely shut the door on an exit.<\/p>\n It\u2019d be negligible if the Old Lady, provided they do eventually bring in a new defender, didn\u2019t sign him after letting Tarik Muharemovic slip through their fingers, also considering that Luciano Spalletti, in particular, seems to rate him higher than most suitors.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
