Juventus pursues Jhon Lucumí and Joshua Zirkzee in transfer market
Juventus is actively pursuing two major transfer targets: Colombian defender Jhon Lucumí from Bologna and striker Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United.
Regarding Lucumí, Juventus has reportedly reached a personal agreement with the player for a five-year contract. While the player favors a move to Turin, negotiations with Bologna remain difficult. After an initial €17 million offer was rejected, Juventus is preparing a new bid of approximately €20 million. Bologna's valuation is between €25 million and €28 million. To bridge this gap, Juventus is considering including Juan Cabal as a technical counterpart in the deal.
In the attacking line, Juventus is targeting Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutch forward has reportedly expressed interest in returning to Serie A with Juventus. Negotiations with Manchester United are ongoing, specifically regarding the transfer structure. While United is pushing for a loan with an obligation to buy, Juventus prefers a loan with a conditional purchase option. The completion of the Zirkzee deal may depend on Juventus clearing space in their attacking squad, potentially involving the sale or departure of players like Jonathan David.
