Report Lucumi price tag set at €25m after Besiktas proposal rejected | OneFootball

Reports suggest Bologna turned down a Besiktas offer for Jhon Lucumi, consisting of €12m plus Jean Onana, with an asking price of €25m for the defender also linked with Inter, Juventus and Sunderland.

The Colombia international had a release clause in his contract set at €28m, but that expired a few days ago.

Considering his current deal expires at the end of the season and Bologna confirmed they had promised to let him leave if a suitable offer arrived, his exit seems fairly inevitable this summer.

Bologna set Lucumi conditions

Tuttomercatoweb and Sporx both claim that a proposal came in from Besiktas worth €12m cash plus ownership of midfielder Onana, who spent last season on loan at Genoa.

However, Bologna are only prepared to accept the full cash sum for this sale, so no player exchanges will be considered.

The €25m asking price has now been set and could include add-ons, so there is no shortage of interested teams.

Besiktas do have an advantage, in that he already worked with coach Vincenzo Italiano at the Stadio Dall’Ara.
