Juventus have reached an agreement with Bologna for Jhon Lucumi, with the Colombian defender now set to complete his move to Turin.

According to Tuttosport, The deal is worth €20 million plus a further €2m in potential bonuses.

Lucumi is expected to arrive in Turin on Sunday for his medical examinations before putting pen to paper on a contract running until June 2031. He will reportedly earn €2.5m per season plus bonuses.

The 28-year-old is said to have prioritised Juventus despite receiving more lucrative proposals elsewhere, including offers from Nottingham Forest and Sunderland. Newcastle also showed late interest, while Como had previously explored a deal.

Last season, the Colombian averaged 57 successful passes per game with an 89.6% completion rate, while completing 4.5 long balls per match at 61.5% accuracy.
