Bologna\u2019s CEO has confirmed that Jhon Lucumi can leave this summer for the right price, amid the recent links with AC Milan.<\/p>\n

Among the various names that have been linked with Milan in recent days is Lucumi, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Bologna and is coming off a strong World Cup performance for his national team Colombia.<\/p>\n

He will not extend his deal, which makes a sale this summer logical. So far, no one has made a decisive move but Juventus \u2013 as well as other foreign clubs \u2013 have come forward. Recently, a Colombian source<\/a> and La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a> both named him as an option for the Rossoneri.<\/p>\n

\u2018We promised him this\u2019<\/p>\n

Now, Claudio Fenucci \u2013 Bologna\u2019s CEO \u2013 discussed the latest on Lucumi\u2019s future during an interview that aired on TuttoMercatoWeb<\/a>. He essentially confirmed that a sale is possible, but only if the right bid arrives.<\/p>\n

\u201cLucumi has a contract with us, so the fact that he only has one year left on his contract doesn\u2019t affect our assessment. So Lucumi can leave, because we promised him this last year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou knew that last year he received an offer that was very important for him, one that would change his career path.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we asked him to stay another year, promising him that if a suitable offer arrived the following year, and therefore this season, he could leave. We\u2019ll see if a suitable offer arrives, but if that\u2019s the case, we\u2019ll make him happy. If not, he\u2019ll stay with us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bologna\u2019s CEO has confirmed that Jhon Lucumi can leave this summer for the right price, amid the recent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777746,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-777745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777745\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
