Roma could be handed a fresh opportunity in the race for Jhon Lucumí as Juventus reportedly face complications in their pursuit of the Bologna defender.
According to Sky Sport, the Bianconeri are struggling to make decisive progress in negotiations for the Colombian centre-back, opening the door for rival clubs to re-enter the picture ahead of a crucial phase of the summer transfer window.
Among the clubs keeping a close eye on developments are Roma, who remain in the market for defensive reinforcements as Gian Piero Gasperini prepares for the new season. Strengthening the back line has been identified as one of the club’s priorities, and Lucumí continues to be viewed as a profile capable of adding quality, experience, and reliability to the squad.
The 27-year-old has established himself as one of Serie A’s most consistent defenders during his time at Bologna, attracting attention from several top clubs in Italy and abroad. His combination of physicality, composure on the ball, and tactical versatility makes him an appealing option for teams looking to compete at the highest level.
Roma’s interest in Lucumí is not new, but Juventus’ difficulties could give the Giallorossi an opportunity to intensify their efforts if the market conditions become favourable.
