Como is intensifying its efforts to secure Bologna defender Jhon Lucumí, identifying the Colombian centre-back as a primary target for the upcoming season. Manager Cesc Fabregas is keen to strengthen his backline, and the club is reportedly prepared to meet Bologna’s current asking price of approximately €23m to finalize the deal.
While Bologna has indicated a willingness to part ways with the player provided their financial valuation is met, the transfer process faces a notable hurdle. Lucumí is understood to favor a move to Juventus, with the defender keen on the possibility of joining the Turin-based club.
Despite this preference, Como is hoping that the allure of European competition will influence the player's final decision. As the Lombardy side prepares to participate in the Champions League next season, the club believes that the prospect of playing in the continental tournament could prove to be the decisive factor in convincing Lucumí to choose a move to Lake Como over the Allianz Stadium.
