"The Black Cats were keen to sign Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi during the summer, though the Serie A giants held firm and didn't let the Colombia international leave. Sunderland got into quite advanced talks with the player at the time, however, and it's now anticipated that they'll try again for him when the transfer window re-opens in January. Sources in South America state that Sunderland have already decided they plan to pursue Lucumi as a top target once again."
"Latest reports suggest that the 27-year-old would like to play in the Premier League, while he's also yet to sign a new contract with his current club. Bologna currently have Lucumi tied down until the year 2027, so it could soon be wise for them to consider offers for him if he shows no sign of agreeing a new deal."
Sunderland are making plans to strengthen their defence and intend to pursue Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi again in the January transfer window. The club held advanced talks with the player in the summer but failed to secure a move as Bologna kept the Colombia international. Sources in South America indicate Sunderland have already identified Lucumi as a top target. The 27-year-old reportedly wants to play in the Premier League and has not signed a new contract with Bologna. Bologna's current contract with Lucumi runs until 2027, which could force the club to consider offers or risk losing him for reduced fees or for free.
