Jhon Lucumi, a defender for Bologna who is 26 years old and will cost about €25 million, is supposedly a target for La Liga powerhouse Barcelona. In anticipation of the January transfer window, the Catalan powerhouses are searching the market for a center-back. Because the 26-year-old Bologna defender has a €25 million release clause in his contract with the Serie A team, he has become an inexpensive target for the Blaugrana. Since moving from KRC Genk to Bologna in August 2022, Jhon Lucumi has made a name for himself as one of Serie A's top defenders.
A number of prominent teams around Europe have taken note of the Colombian defender's development. The Bologna center-back was linked to Manchester United in reports before the 2024 summer transfer window. Barcelona is now interested in Lucumi because of his €25 million release clause, which makes him an affordable target for the Blaugrana.
