Juventus are reportedly ready to offer €20 million as a fixed fee, with add-ons on top. Bologna have already rejected an opening bid and proposals involving players, so the Turin club’s next approach will need to convince a seller that has held firm.
The contrast is clear: Lucumi is said to favour Juventus, but that preference has not yet produced agreement between the clubs. A possible five-year contract has been reported, though it depends on Bologna accepting the transfer package. The add-ons may help close the difference, but their structure and value remain unsettled.
Lucumi’s profile offers Juventus a left-footed centre-back, a quality that can bring balance to a defensive line and help build-up play from the back. Bologna’s resistance also reflects the value they place on keeping a defender they have previously refused to include in a swap proposal.
The reported interest from other clubs gives Bologna reason to negotiate patiently, while Juventus’s apparent willingness to raise their offer points to a serious pursuit. Neither factor guarantees a breakthrough: the decisive signal will be whether the fixed fee, rather than the headline package alone, satisfies Bologna.
The next step is a fresh offer and a response from the club. If Juventus can turn reported personal terms into an agreed fee, the transfer could advance quickly; if not, Bologna’s earlier rejections leave the deal firmly in negotiation.
