Potenza Overview

Juventus have reached an agreement in principle to sign Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi after fending off strong interest from the Premier League. The Colombian international has agreed a five-year contract in Turin, although the two Italian clubs must still negotiate a final transfer fee.

Serie A side Bologna have turned down a €30m offer from Everton for English winger Jonathan Rowe and made it clear they are unwilling to part ways with the player this summer. The Toffees explored increasing their proposal to €35m, but the Italian club remain determined to keep hold of the 23-year-old following key squad departures.

Man Utd have made a move to sign Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi as they look to bolster their squad depth. However, Premier League rivals Chelsea are also monitoring the Colombian, who is available for a reasonable €25m fee as he enters the final year of his contract.

Antonio Conte has leaped to the defence of Rasmus Hojlund after the Manchester United loanee failed to find the net during Napoli's damaging 3-2 defeat against Bologna. Despite providing an assist in the comeback attempt at the Stadio Maradona, the Danish striker remains under scrutiny for a lack of goals during the final stretch of the season.
