According like in colombia, manchester united They are considering a transfer for Bologna centre-back Jhon Lucumi during the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils are likely to invest in the central defense department this summer. Raphael Varane has made the decision to leave on a free transfer and the club needs a solid replacement in the squad.
according to ASLucumi has emerged as an option for Man United, but they are not alone in the search, with Bournemouth, AC Milan and Napoli also in the race to sign the 25-year-old centre-back.
Bologna are willing to sell him for 15 million pounds, but the price could increase with first division interest. A deal could be delayed with Lucumi focused on playing for Colombia in the Copa América.
Strong distribution
Lucumi has become one of the best center backs on the ball in Serie A. Last season, he completed more than 93% of his passes, according to FBRef. Nobody managed to distribute better than him. This could be one of the main reasons behind the great interest in signing him from several European clubs.
United will try to take him before the competition. The club currently needs a right center back with Varane leaving. Lucumi is a left-footed central defender, but he played on the right for Thiago Motta's side for most of the previous campaign, where they finished fifth in Serie A.
He would definitely fit in well with the Red Devils. In addition to his strong passing skills, Lucumi has a good physical and aerial presence along with an impressive recovery pace. He could emerge as a regular starter in central defense next season, considering the inconsistency of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
Lucumi does not want to decide on his future until the Copa América concludes next month, but United should begin negotiations with his representatives so that they can gain an advantage in the race to sign him.
