Reports indicate that Jhon Lucumi, a defender for Bologna, is gaining attention from several prominent clubs in Europe, notably Atletico Madrid in LaLiga and Manchester United in the Premier League.

According to sources in Colombia cited by TMW, both Atletico Madrid and Manchester United have initiated discussions with Bologna regarding Lucumi’s availability for the upcoming summer transfer window.

Atletico is supposedly seeking a replacement for left-footed center back Mario Hermoso, who is expected to depart when his contract expires soon. Meanwhile, Manchester United is looking to strengthen various positions on the field.

Lucumi, who joined Bologna from Genk in Belgium in 2022, is valued at around €20m by the decision-makers at Rossoblu.

While Bologna isn’t in a rush to sell, the interest from multiple clubs could potentially drive up the transfer fee if they opt to part ways with Lucumi.
