Bologna’s Jhon Lucumi could be interested in Sunderland move | OneFootball

Serie A side Bologna have seen Jhon Lucumi get linked with a host of clubs and Sunderland are the latest potential suitor for the defender.

It was reported earlier this week that the Black Cats are interested in the player, with Bologna trying to extend his contract amidst the expiry of his release clause.

TMW have reported that Bologna have decided to extend Lucumi’s contract by a season and this has been informed to the player and his entourage. They have also expressed their desire to further extend the deal and revise his current salary.

But Lucumi is currently stalling that possibility. He is firmly in the sights of Sunderland, who are willing to offer a fee of €20 million to €25 million, as his release clause of €28 million has expired.

If an offer from Regis le Bris’ side does come to Bologna, Lucumi will ask for a transfer in a meeting with the Rossoblu and Sunderland will have a real chance of signing him.
