Agent Of In-Demand Bologna Center-Back Admits His Client Is 'Flattered By Inter Milan & Juventus Interest'
Agent Of In-Demand Bologna Center-Back Admits His Client Is 'Flattered By Inter Milan & Juventus Interest' Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi had emerged as a transfer target for Inter Milan and Juventus heading into the summer transfer window. Speaking to STILETV via FCInterNews, Lucumi's agent confirmed there's more than just rumors surrounding his client's future. Advertisement Jhon Lucumi has established himself as one of Serie A's most reliable center-backs in the past three years. Alongside Sam Beukema, he has been the backbone of Bologna's notable rise to prominence. Indeed, the star defensive duo have earned broad plaudits for their formidable form at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. More importantly, they've generated interest from Serie A's top clubs, including Inter and Juventus. However, Bologna would ideally keep hold of both players despite the prospect of making substantial profit from their sales. Meanwhile, Napoli will not compete with the Derby d'Italia rivals for the Colombian ace. Advertisement At least that's what Lucumi's agent told the media. Bologna Stalwart Jhon Lucumi Targeted by Inter Milan & Juventus HOUSTON, TEXAS – JUNE 24: Jhon Lucumi of Colombia lines up prior to the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 Group D match between Colombia and Paraguay at NRG Stadium on June 24, 2024 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by) Simone Rondanini addressed Lucumi's future, even though speculation has recently waned. Indeed, he admitted his client could depart Bologna in the coming weeks. 'Where will he play next season? Wherever he has the best opportunity to grow, whether that's Bologna again or another club. 'He has developed well at Bologna, and now we need to understand what his next step will be. 'I don't like to talk about other teams. He had a great season, and interest from clubs like Inter and Juventus is always flattering.' Advertisement Meanwhile, he confirmed Napoli had never contacted him for Lucumi. 'For Lucumí, no. I've had several conversations with Napoli about other players, but never regarding Lucumí. 'We spoke about it a year and a half ago, but nothing recent. Maybe they preferred Sam Beukema because of his characteristics. 'There are a few players I represent who interest Napoli, but those are only potential situations. 'I can say Napoli contacted me to inquire about other players. In which area? Certainly not the coach.

What's happened with Diaz so far this summer?
Liverpool have rejected a formal approach from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz - but how did we get to this point? After scoring 13 goals and registering seven assists in the Reds' title-winning Premier League campaign, speculation surrounding the Colombia international's future has rumbled throughout the summer so far. Advertisement First, both Diaz and his girlfriend posted lengthy social media posts that could be interpreted as farewell messages, with the winger saying: "Anyone who plays for this badge is bound to miss this incredible atmosphere one day." Speculation then ramped up after some Diaz comments while on international duty. "The transfer market is opening, and we're trying to arrange what's best for us," he said. "I'm waiting to see what happens. "If Liverpool gives us a good extension or I have to see out my two-year contract, I'll be happy. It all depends on them. I'm here to decide and see what's best for us and the future." Advertisement Liverpool then rejected an approach from Barcelona to speak to the 28-year-old, with fans on this page split over whether the club should push to keep Diaz or if this would be the right time to facilitate an exit. Our pundit, former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha, said "contingency plans" to replace him "will be in place" and Liverpool "never felt like they were his final destination". After the latest approach, Bayern director of sport Max Eberl has been informed the Reds have no intention of selling Diaz and will not enter into discussions for the attacker. However, his relatively low weekly wage means the speculation may not go away, despite his current contract running until the summer of 2027.

Liverpool reject Bayern Munich approach for Diaz
Liverpool have rejected a formal approach from Bayern Munich for forward Luis Diaz. Bayern director of sport Max Eberl has been informed that the Premier League club have no intention of selling Diaz and will not enter into discussions for the attacker. Advertisement Diaz, 28, was the subject of a similar approach from Barcelona earlier this summer which the Premier League champions also rebuffed. Liverpool are adamant that Diaz is not for sale at any price this summer, given his key contribution to the team since his arrival from Porto in 2022. The Colombia international scored 22 goals for club and country last season as he emerged as an integral member of Arne Slot's title-winning side. He scored 13 goals and made seven assists in the league as Liverpool won the title by 10 points. Diaz, who has two years left to run on his contract at Anfield, attracted interest from Manchester City last summer and also has admirers in Saudi Arabia. Advertisement "I'm very happy at Liverpool - I've always said so," said Diaz when on international duty earlier this summer. "The transfer market is opening, and we're trying to arrange what's best for us. I'm waiting to see what happens. "If Liverpool give us a good extension or I have to see out my two-year contract, I'll be happy. It all depends on them. I'm here to decide and see what's best for us and the future."
