Jhon Lucumi is expected to land in Turin and complete his Juventus medical by the end of the weekend after the Bianconeri and Bologna reached an agreement for the transfer of the Colombian centre-back on Thursday. 

Lucumi to complete Juventus medical on Sunday

According to reports from various outlets on Thursday, Juventus have agreed to pay a total of €20m including bonuses and add-ons for Lucumi, who is into the final year of his contract at the Dall’Ara. 

Bologna had originally sought the €28m release clause fee that is written into the defender’s contract before lowering their demands to €25m and then eventually lowering to €20m with growing fears that the 28-year-old could walk away for free at the end of his contract next summer.

A deal has now been struck with Juventus and according to the latest updates from Calciomercato.com, the player is expected to travel over to Turin on Saturday (August 15). 

Depending on the time that the player arrives in Turin, he could complete the first stage of his medical on Saturday and potentially complete the rest of it and the other formalities, including the signing of his contract, on Sunday.
