Colombian defender Jhon Lucumí has officially told his club, Bologna, that he wishes to make a move to Sunderland. This development comes after several weeks of negotiations between the two clubs.
The transfer now hinges on Bologna finding a suitable replacement. Lucumí has reportedly already agreed to personal terms with Sunderland, showing his strong desire to join the team. The focus now shifts to whether Bologna can sign a new defender, with Juventus veteran Daniele Rugani being a potential candidate.
👋 Lucumí Makes His Intentions Clear
Jhon Lucumí has informed Bologna of his desire to join Sunderland. This move follows weeks of ongoing discussions between the two football clubs, signaling a potentially significant step forward in the transfer process.
📝 Personal Terms Agreed
It’s reported that Lucumí has already accepted a contract offer from Sunderland. The proposed five-year deal is said to be worth €3 million per season after tax, which shows his strong commitment to making the transfer happen.
⏳ Bologna’s Key Condition
While Bologna is open to letting Lucumí go, they have made it clear that a sale will not be approved until they find a replacement. This condition is currently the main hurdle that needs to be overcome to complete the deal.
🤔 A Potential Replacement
To address this, Bologna is reportedly considering Daniele Rugani, a veteran defender from Juventus, as a possible new signing. If Bologna can secure Rugani, it would likely clear the path for Lucumí’s move to Sunderland.
