What happened: Bologna have placed a €25m valuation on centre-back Jhon Lucumi amid early talks with Juventus, who are unwilling to meet that figure for the 27-year-old. The defender's name surfaced alongside wider discussions between the clubs covering full-backs Joao Mario and Emil Holm, both of whom moved between the sides in January, and midfielder Fabio Miretti. Per the latest from Fabrizio Romano, the talks remain at an initial stage with significant ground still to

Why it matters: A deal would deepen an already active trading relationship between Juventus and Bologna, unchanged since Giovanni Carnevali replaced Damien Comolli as CEO. The gap between Bologna's €25m demand and Juventus's reluctance signals negotiations could stall or pivot toward the full-backs and Miretti instead. Lucumi's market is not limited to Turin: Premier League side AFC Bournemouth have also been linked as they seek a centre-back.

What to watch: Watch whether Juventus and Bologna bridge the €25m valuation gap or shift focus to Joao Mario, Holm and Miretti, and whether Bournemouth firm up their own move for Lucumi.
