Juventus have announced the signing of defender Jhon Lucumi from Bologna.

Lucumi has signed a four-year deal with the Bianconeri, who will pay a €19.5m fee, plus add-ons, for the centre-back.

The Colombia international made 152 appearances across four seasons for Bologna and helped them win the Coppa Italia in 2024-25.

Since the start of the 2022-23 Serie A season, Lucumi has won the most duels among Bologna defenders (450) and the most tackles (116), while also registering the most headed clearances (160) and interceptions (109).

The 28-year-old featured in the Champions League and Europa League for Bologna, reaching the quarter-finals of the latter competition last season before losing to eventual champions Aston Villa.

Lucumi also made five appearances at the 2026 World Cup for Colombia, who lost in the last 16 to Switzerland on penalties following a 0-0 draw.

He joins the likes of Randal Kolo Muani, Kerim Alajbegovic and Zeki Celik through the door at Juve, who finished their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 win over Palermo.

Luciano Spalletti’s side begin their Serie A season on August 23 away to Frosinone.
