Jhon Lucumí has entered the orbit of Barcelona after a standout season with Bologna, crowned by winning the Coppa Italia. The Colombian defender, who has been a key player in the Italian team's defense, is highly regarded by the Barcelona coaching staff, who continue to scan the market for reinforcements to strengthen their defensive line. His name has gained traction in recent weeks as a real option, especially if the arrival of their priority target on the list, Jonathan Tah, does not materialize.

Jhon Lucumí, on Barcelona's radar

At 26 years old, Lucumí has reached a footballing maturity that positions him as a solid center-back, with good ball distribution and a game reading that allows him to anticipate effectively. His experience in Serie A and international competitions has bolstered his profile as a reliable option, and his performance at Bologna has put him on the radar of several top teams on the continent.

One of the advantages of a potential transfer is his contractual situation. With only one year remaining on his deal with the Italian club, his acquisition would not involve excessive outlay, something Barcelona values, particularly given their delicate financial situation. Furthermore, the player would be willing to make the leap to a team with higher ambitions, facilitating negotiations.

Although Tah remains Barcelona's priority, the interest in Lucumí is not new. The Colombian's profile aligns well with what the club is seeking: defensive reliability, the ability to initiate plays from the back, and a reasonable cost. If the primary option does not materialize, all eyes will turn to the Colombian center-back as the next on the list.
