Juventus target opens door to join them or Chelsea | OneFootball

Jhon Lucumi turned down an approach from Como this summer, despite the opportunity to play Champions League football under Cesc Fabregas.

The defender wants to join Juventus or another bigger club after the Bianconeri showed interest in securing his signature. He is now waiting for Juventus to formalise their interest and make an official move to add him to their squad.

Juventus face competition for Lucumi

Lucumi has established himself as one of the top defenders in Serie A over recent seasons, and Juventus are keen to ensure that he joins their team during this transfer window.

However, the Bianconeri have delayed making a decisive move so far, while Bologna are interested in selling him because he has entered the final year of his contract with the club. Juventus must therefore act if they want to secure his services before another team makes a stronger approach.

The situation has created an opportunity for Chelsea to enter the race. According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Blues are another club that Lucumi would be interested in joining during this summer window.

Lucumi waits for the strongest offer

Although Chelsea, like Juventus, have not yet formalised their interest, the report states that they have informed his representatives that they would like to bring him to their squad.

Lucumi has now opened the door to both clubs and is prepared to consider either option. The defender is waiting to see which team presents the strongest interest and the most convincing opportunity before the transfer window closes.

Juventus remain determined to strengthen their defence and see Lucumi as a suitable addition to their squad. However, with Chelsea also monitoring the situation, the Bianconeri cannot afford to wait too long if they want to win the race for his signature.
