The FC Barcelona is looking to strengthen its defense and has set its sights on Jhon Lucumí, the Colombian center-back from Bologna, as an interesting option for the upcoming transfer markets, as reported by AS. With the need to improve its defensive rotation after some concerning results, the Blaugrana team considers the 26-year-old defender as a possible strategic signing. His performance in Serie A and international experience position him as an attractive alternative for the Blaugrana squad.
Lucumí has become a key player at Bologna, excelling in defensive duels and precision in long passes. In the current season, he has shown outstanding statistics, leading in ball recoveries and interceptions within his team. This performance has not gone unnoticed by Barça, which values him as a profile similar to Íñigo Martínez but with greater potential in key metrics.
Jhon Lucumí, Barcelona's Hidden Gem
The Colombian has also proven his worth on the international stage, shining with his national team in important competitions. His contract with Bologna, valid until 2026, includes a release clause close to 25 million euros, although the Italian club could be willing to negotiate for a lower amount.
Barça's sports management, led by Deco, is carefully considering this option, aware of the importance of reinforcing a defense that has shown inconsistencies in the current season. Although Lucumí has attracted interest from other European clubs like Atlético de Madrid, his profile fits the needs of the Catalan team. His recent performance has been impressive.
Barça continues to explore the market with the aim of finding solutions to its defensive issues, and Jhon Lucumí emerges as one of the most promising alternatives to strengthen the backline in the near future.
