Bologna’s CEO has confirmed that Jhon Lucumi can leave this summer for the right price, amid the recent links with AC Milan.
Among the various names that have been linked with Milan in recent days is Lucumi, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Bologna and is coming off a strong World Cup performance for his national team Colombia.

He will not extend his deal, which makes a sale this summer logical. So far, no one has made a decisive move but Juventus – as well as other foreign clubs – have come forward. Recently, a Colombian source and La Gazzetta dello Sport both named him as an option for the Rossoneri.
‘We promised him this’
Now, Claudio Fenucci – Bologna’s CEO – discussed the latest on Lucumi’s future during an interview that aired on TuttoMercatoWeb. He essentially confirmed that a sale is possible, but only if the right bid arrives.
“Lucumi has a contract with us, so the fact that he only has one year left on his contract doesn’t affect our assessment. So Lucumi can leave, because we promised him this last year,” he said.
“You knew that last year he received an offer that was very important for him, one that would change his career path.
“So we asked him to stay another year, promising him that if a suitable offer arrived the following year, and therefore this season, he could leave. We’ll see if a suitable offer arrives, but if that’s the case, we’ll make him happy. If not, he’ll stay with us.”
let’s complete the defese… Newcastle/Coventry take Tomori
Too slow? 🤔 He’s decent and I like seeing him play but for Bologna lol
That is a point, especially as he is similar if not the same as Gabbia, I think if Tomori goes we need pace in the defence, for me personally it is time for Bartisaghi to make the transition to back 3, he would be perfect
Yes, we have a bit of tall big bulky defenders already. Our small agile defender is Tomori (maybe Gila at a stretch)
Agreed with Bart’s, always feel he’s probably best suited as an LCB in a 3
Sell Gimenez, Leao, Fofana, RLC and Chukwueze and
Buy Foden, Pote and Brahim Diaz with that money.
Sell Estupiñán, Pavlovic, De Winter, Tomori, Athekame and
Buy Inacio, Udogie, Scalvini, Comuzzo, Daniel Munoz and politano.
Maignan
Scalvini – Gila – Inacio
Munoz – Modric – Rabiot – Udogie
Foden – Pulisic
Ramos
Backup
Torriani
Comuzzo – Gabbia – Bartesaghi
Politano – Ricci – Jashari – Saelemaekers
Brahim – Nkunku
Camarda or Kostic
Amorim wants to have inverted Wingbacks and that’s why I changed Saelemaekers position and I think Politano gonna be good in that position and I don’t think he gonna get alot game time under Allegri and Milan can get him cheap and is experienced.
7 new players at starting eleven is crazy xD
Ppl will never learn sigh
And the owners know the fans are like this
