Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour


Billy Batts said:
The only team that worries me about the transfer the longer it goes on is Brentford. Was reading a Reddit forum earlier and they seem to think they'll be targeting CBs if or when they sell Wissa. Obviously they'll have a fare wedge of money to spend if that happens.

I think Brentford have stench of impending doom. They’ve had 60m or so from sale of Mbeumo burning a hole for over 2 weeks. Wissa won’t play again for them. Their captain has done one.
What are they waiting for. Frank held them together with sticky tape for years

We just need to get it over the line before Wissa finally does go

Think they need 2 new strikers before they need CB’s

There is also that.

Be interesting to see. Bournemouth just seem to have let us scout for them for instance.

Yeah OK. Someone who has constantly slagged off Speakman and KLD for years and wanted them out :lol:

I love it when people like you disagree with me, as it's the greatest indicator I am right.

I couldnt hold view in your opinion on Sunderland any less if I tried, you've been proven to be compeltely wrong about every single thing...Speakman, the Owner, RLB, the Players. :lol:

I slagged off KLD, Speakman and our various managerial choices (and I still don’t think enough was done to rectify the black cats bar fiasco) but only an actual Newcastle fan would be so spectacularly, monumentally thick as to say “I still want them out” now.

The Colombian defender pushes for the farewell and the English relaunch: the rossoblù resist but evaluate the possible scenarios in defense

The last days of the market are looking incandescent for Bologna, with the management called to manage several fronts at the same time. If in the incoming speeches for the outsider of attack remain a priority, there is no lack of delicate dossiers even on the exit front.

Casteldebole is worried about the situation related to Jhon Lucumì, one of the pillars of the rossoblù rearguard. The Colombian center has admirers in the Premier League and his stay is no longer so obvious: the pressing of the Sunderland has in fact opened a new scenario that risks changing the club's market strategies.

Lucumì and the Premier temptation: Sunderland is serious​

According to Il Resto del Carlino, Sunderland would have raised its offer for Lucumì to 30 million euros plus a percentage on the future resale. An important relaunch, which is accompanied by the yes already given by the player to the transfer to England.

The Colombian defender, in fact, pushes for the farewell attracted by the prospect of a total engagement of about 15 million guaranteed by the English club. An economic proposal that Bologna cannot equalize and that has inevitably turned on the spotlight on the future of the player.

The company's position remains clear: Lucumì is not considered on the market and Italiano considers him a key element for his defense. However, in the face of the player's pressure and the concrete offer of Sunderland, the situation remains open and to be monitored carefully.

In this scenario, Bologna is at a crossroads: retain a fundamental player while risking having a discontented element in the locker room, or evaluate the sale and reinvest in the market. A delicate decision, which could significantly mark the end of this summer session.

The alternatives in defense: two profiles on the table​

As reported by Il Resto del Carlino, in the event that Lucumì's departure became inevitable, Bologna would have already started to evaluate possible substitutes. On the list is Lorenzo Pirola, born in 2002, who grew up at Inter and today in force at Olympiacos, with experience also in the Italian youth teams.

Another profile followed is Diogo Leite, a Portuguese from Union Berlin who also likes Galatasaray. However, his future depends on the market moves of the Germans, who could only free him in the event of new grafts in the backlog department. Two different tracks, but both considered valid in case Bologna is forced to move.

The situation therefore remains fluid: the rossoblù club does not want to deprive itself of its defensive leader, but the last days of the market can hold surprises. The player's will and Sunderland's moves could change the balance, transforming Lucumì from a fixed point to a great unknown at the end of August.

Thanks for that fella, first sensible appraisal for about 50 pages.

They've took the club from the 3rd tier to the PL and broke records for spending as a newly promoted club and some still want them out.

Proof that a very small minority of fans are just toxic.

How anyone could want them out during any period during the last 4 years is totally beyond me like

So we just expect them to get every single decision right 100% of time. And if they don’t then we need a new owner?

Mad

In hindsight, the BCB was class because it’s paid for all our new players flights 🤣
