Overview
- Juventus confirmed on Monday that they have signed Jhon Lucumì from Bologna on a contract through June 2030 after he passed medicals in Turin.
- The fee is €19.5 million payable over three financial years with up to €0.6 million in ancillary costs and as much as €2 million in performance bonuses.
- Juventus signed Lucumì for his pace and aggression so he can partner with Gleison Bremer and help Spalletti operate a higher, more aggressive defensive line.
- The move is already prompting defensive departures, with reports that at least one of Daniele Rugani, Federico Gatti or Juan Cabal will leave and that Cabal is close to a loan‑to‑buy move to Bologna.
- Negotiations were shaped by Lucumì entering the final year of his Bologna contract and a reported 20% sell‑on to Genk, and he joins Juventus after more than 150 senior appearances for Bologna and five World Cup starts for Colombia.
