Reports in Italy claim that Bologna are unwilling to sell Jhon Lucum\u00ed in January despite a potential interest from Manchester City, while Lazio are in talks to sign Giovanni Fabbian.<\/p>\n

Bologna won\u2019t listen to offers for Colombian centre-back Lucum\u00ed even if the 27-year-old has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n

According to English sources and Il Resto Del Carlino<\/a>, even Manchester City are interested in Lucum\u00ed, although the Bologna defender\u2019s entourage hasn\u2019t yet held talks with the Premier League giants who are looking for defensive reinforcements in January.<\/p>\n

Il Resto Del Carlino adds that Lazio are ready to offer \u20ac12m for Bologna midfielder Fabbian.<\/p>\n

The Rossoblu have asked for \u20ac15m plus add-ons, but the Italian midfielder is tempted to join the Biancocelesti, where he\u2019d be once again deployed as a box-to-box midfielder under Maurizio Sarri.<\/p>\n
