Juve push for Lucumí with Cabal as potential makeweight

Juventus remain determined to secure Jhon Lucumí as they look to reinforce Luciano Spalletti’s defence, keeping the Bologna centre‑back at the top of their shortlist. The Rossoblù value the Colombian at around twenty‑five million euros, a figure the Bianconeri are trying to reduce by proposing a player‑plus‑cash deal. According to Goal, Juventus are considering including Juan Cabal in the negotiation.

The Colombian full‑back has struggled to regain form after a serious injury disrupted his first season in Turin, and he could now be used as a makeweight to help bridge the financial gap. Juventus believe Cabal’s profile may appeal to Bologna and are hopeful of finding a formula that satisfies all parties. Talks remain open, with the club intent on delivering the defensive reinforcement Spalletti requested. Cabal’s inclusion could prove decisive as Juventus push for a breakthrough in the coming days.
