Juventus and Bologna met again today to discuss Jhon Lucumi, but have not yet been able to reach an agreement on the €20m including bonus offer.
The defender is down to the final months of his contract at the Stadio Dall’Ara, and has made it very clear he only wants his next club to be in Turin.
This has meant Bologna lowering the initial €25m asking price, which in turn was a drop from the €28m release clause that expired last month.
Lucumi deal still not ready
Sky Sport Italia confirm another encounter today between the two clubs, and while Juve remain confident they will get a deal, it probably won’t be today.
The proposal on the table remains €20m including add-ons, so the negotiations are trying to whittle down the differences.
Lucumi has already agreed personal terms with Juventus, ready to sign a four-year contract with option to extend for a fifth.
The Colombia international had been practically sold to Sunderland last summer, so when that move was abandoned, he got a promise that Bologna would let him leave for a suitable offer this time around.
