\n

Another transfer chase that has lasted much of the summer looks like it\u2019s about to hit its conclusion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

OK, so nowhere nearly as close to the drama when it came to Juventus\u2019 long-awaited signing of Randal Kolo Muani, but the Bianconeri will soon have their much-desired South American center back to pair with their other South American center back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to multiple reports coming out of Italy on Wednesday evening, Juventus and Bologna are close to finalizing a deal for Colombian center back Jhon Lucum\u00ed that is worth a total of around \u20ac20 million. As noted by Sky Italia\u2019s Gianluca Di Marzio<\/a>, that \u20ac20 million is something that includes<\/em> potential bonuses \u2014 which is quite a nice little development considering for so long we\u2019ve been hearing that Bologna want upward of \u20ac25 million if Juventus were to sign Lucum\u00ed. But, when you factor in that the player is now in the final year of his contract and that he had rejected pretty much every other approach made by clubs around Europe, Juve might have actually had a little bit of leverage on their side. (Maybe? Who knows!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are also rumors that Juventus could send another Colombian, fullback Juan Cabal, to Bologna on loan (and maybe with an option to buy) as part of the deal although not technically part of the deal. Those talks don\u2019t seem to be as advanced as the overall Lucum\u00ed negotiations are, which are expected to be done by the end of the week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lucum\u00ed has been one of Juventus\u2019 main targets all summer \u2014 and especially so once the option in attack were finalized right on the cusp of the preseason tour to Hong Kong and Australia. As Lucum\u00ed continued to reportedly reject offers from elsewhere \u2014 including the Premier League \u2014 the biggest thing was if Juve and Bologna would be able to come to an agreement on a price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And it looks like that\u2019s happen a week before the 2026-27 season begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now Juventus can think of a defense that will have Lucum\u00ed playing alongside Gleison Bremer \u2014 who is coming off an up-and-down 2025-26 season after his return from ACL surgery in October of 2024. With his arrival coming all of a week before the new campaign kicks off, who knows if he will be in the starting lineup come Aug. 23 against Frosinone, but it\u2019s pretty easy to see that he is being viewed as a regular player to feature for Luciano Spalletti. You don\u2019t take the better part of two months trying to secure his signature if he isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
