Como are reportedly yet another club in talks for Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi, claims Fabrizio Romano, joining Juventus, Inter, Galatasaray, Besiktas and Bournemouth.
The Colombia international is on the move this summer, as his contract runs down at the end of the season, while the directors confessed that he had been promised the opportunity to leave if the right offer came along.
That pledge was made when his transfer to Sunderland collapsed a year ago, leaving the player frustrated.
Lucumi has no shortage of options
Juventus have long been pursuing Lucumi, but do not seem able to pay the €25m asking price, which dropped after his €28m release clause expired.
However, transfer pundit Romano claims today that Como have stepped in with direct talks for the 28-year-old.
It is also no secret that Como want central defenders, as they seem to have backed away from Trevoh Chalobah after Chelsea demanded €30m plus add-ons.
Lucumi is considerably cheaper, already has Serie A and Champions League experience, and a much lower salary too.
