Juventus Transfer Market: Lucumí Signed—Here Are the Details. Besiktas Wants a Third Juventus Player

Juventus has secured Jhon Lucumí: the deal to sign the Bologna defender has now been successfully concluded, with the Bianconeri set to pay Bologna 20 million euros plus bonuses; the negotiations are now in the final stretch.

In recent hours, the Piedmont-based club has significantly accelerated its efforts to sign the Colombian defender, identified as the right player to bolster Luciano Spalletti’s defense. In addition to the 20 million, Juventus will pay a sum based on bonuses tied to the player’s performance and the team’s achieved goals. Jhon Lucumí has already agreed to join the Old Lady some time ago, and the deal is now set to be finalized.

On the outgoing front, Besiktas has made a new move. The Turkish club, which has signed former Juventus player Dusan Vlahovic and has set its sights on Fabio Miretti, now also wants a third Juventus player: Arthur. According to reports in *La Gazzetta dello Sport*, coach Vincenzo Italiano can’t wait to have the Brazilian midfielder on the team, as he helped revive the player’s career during their time together at Fiorentina.

Vlahovic has already arrived in Istanbul to complete his medical exams and sign his new contract with Besiktas. The Serbian forward has signed a lucrative three-year deal worth 10 million euros net per season. Waiting to welcome him at Atatürk Airport were President Serdal Adalı, Vice President Murat Kılıç, and numerous fans.

Miretti is being courted by several clubs, including some in Italy: the midfielder, born in 2003, who failed to impress Spalletti, is being pursued by Fiorentina, Bologna, and Cagliari. The Sardinian club is reportedly particularly interested and has already initiated contact with Juventus’ management. The main sticking point concerns the deal structure: Juventus would prefer a permanent transfer, while the suitors are pushing for a loan with an option to buy.
