Manchester United has made an initial approach to negotiate the signing of Jhon Lucumí, the central defender from Bologna, in this summer transfer window. The Colombian center-back is the new request from the Red Devil coaching staff to strengthen their squad rotation for the upcoming season.

The English club is exploring the conditions set by the Italian club to acquire the Colombian international, whose estimated transfer value stands at 17.5 million euros with one year left on his contract until June 2027.

Manchester United Looks to Sign Jhon Lucumí

According to Corriere di Bologna, the Italian board has opened the door for the central defender's departure after rejecting his sale last summer. The CEO of the Italian club, Claudio Fenucci, confirmed a verbal commitment with the player to facilitate his transfer during this registration period as long as the economic offer meets the club's requirements.

The expiration of his release clause on July 15th grants the Serie A team exclusive power to set the final price of the deal. Additionally, the original transfer agreement states that Genk retains a 20% share of any future sale of the player's rights.

Lucumí's performance in the 2026 World Cup has increased his value in the European market. His current contract is entering a crucial phase, prompting the Italian club to negotiate a direct transfer this summer to prevent the player from entering the final year of his contract without renewal.

Competition in Serie A and the Premier League for Lucumí's Signing

Manchester United faces direct competition from several Serie A clubs and the English league itself for the defender's acquisition. Juventus is monitoring the Colombian to bolster their defensive line in this summer market.

In the UK, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest have also shown interest in signing the central defender for the 2026/2027 season. However, Manchester United's involvement disrupts other suitors' plans due to their stronger financial capability to structure the payment proposal.

The transfer process will hinge on the promptness of the British sporting authority in formalizing a written offer. The Italian club's leadership will wait for the market to fully activate in the upcoming weeks of August to assess whether the English offer meets their expectations.

Manchester United plans to hold a formal meeting with the Italian club's representatives before the start of the domestic leagues. This meeting will address the percentage of the resale rights belonging to Genk and finalize the transfer fee for Jhon Lucumí to complete his immediate inclusion in the team's squad.
