Bologna are expected to sell Jhon Lucumí this summer as he is not set to sign a new contract, with Juventus among the clubs keen on securing his services.
Bologna are prepared to listen to offers for the defender, and Juventus are monitoring his situation closely, although they now face competition from Bournemouth for his signature, according to [Corriere dello Sport](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/2026/06/18-149215227/lucumi_non_solo_roma_e_juve_piace_anche_ad_altri_club_ma_la_clausola_un_problema).
Juventus Defensive Planning
---------------------------
Juventus could look to strengthen their defensive options this summer, especially if they decide to sell some of their top stars or allow a central defender such as Gleison Bremer to leave if a significant offer arrives.
This is why Lucumí is of interest to the club, as he has impressed in Serie A and established himself as one of the most important players in the Bologna squad.
Bournemouth Competition
-----------------------
Bournemouth are considered the main competition for Juventus, with the Premier League side viewed as an attractive option due to their stability and recent progress in English football.
Lucumí will be assessing his options carefully as he looks for the right move at this stage of his career, with financial terms also expected to play a key role in his decision.
However, the player is also believed to be open to taking the next step in his career, which could make a move to a club competing at the highest level more realistic this summer.
Bologna are expected to sell him to the club that makes the strongest offer, and Juventus remain determined to win the race despite growing interest from England.
The situation remains open and could develop quickly depending on how the transfer market progresses in the coming weeks.
Both clubs are expected to continue monitoring developments closely, as the defender weighs up his options for the next stage of his career.
Final decisions are likely to depend on financial details and guarantees.
