Liverpool have joined the race for Columbian defender ahead of summer window. They are joined by their English rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the race.
The star in question here is Jhon Lucumi of Bologna. He is 26 years old and plays for Columbia on international stage. Lucumi has played 41 games this season and has been very impressive. His performances have linked him with a move to top clubs across whole Europe.
Liverpool, Chelsea & Spurs all keen to sign Lucumi
According to TBR Football, Liverpool are showing strong interest in Jhon Lucumi. The player is already looked upon by Chelsea and Tottenham. In addition, the 26 year old also has interest from Italian giants who can make a move soon.
Liverpool definately need a new defender this summer. Joe Gomez has been highly injury prone. On the other hand, Quansah has failed to impress at the top level. Virgil van Dijk has now signed a new contract but will still need a proper replacement very soon due to his age.
On the other hand, Chelsea have struggled with their defensive unit this season. Hence, they have made defensive signings their top priority. Lastly, Tottenham are likely to lose Romero at the end of the season. Hence, they will need to replace the Argentine as soon as possible.
Lucumi can be a great addition to any of these clubs. A move to Premier League will surely excite him. All of the interested English clubs come in top six clubs. Hence, it will surely be a huge step up in the career of the Columbian defender.
Bologna will allow Lucumi to leave for a reasonable fee. He will enter the final year of his contract this summer. Hence, the Italian club will like to cash-in on him to avoid losing him for free. The English clubs can take advantage of this situation and sign him on discount.
