“I’m joining the biggest team in Italy” Lucumi delighted to have completed Juventus move

Jhon Lucumi has finally completed his dream move to Juventus after a saga that had continued for some time, and the defender is delighted to have made the transfer happen.

Lucumi arrives as one of the best defenders in Serie A, and he had several other options, but he remained focused on his dream of playing for the Bianconeri.

Bologna accepted a bid from Como for his signature, but he refused to move to that club and waited until Juventus came forward to add him to their squad.

Although he wanted to leave Bologna, he was prepared to run down his contract at the club to move to Juventus as a free agent at the end of this season.

His desire to play in black and white remains strong, and it is a dream come true for him that the Bianconeri have finally added him to their squad.

The defender has now broken his silence after completing the move and said via Football Italia:

“I’m very happy to have arrived here. I’m joining the biggest team in Italy and I’m really excited. I can’t wait to adapt quickly to my teammates and help out this season.”

His comments underline how much the move means to him after he remained patient throughout the transfer saga. Lucumi was determined to join Juventus and was willing to wait for the opportunity rather than accept another destination.

He added: “I think the first is Cuadrado. I think he did a great job here and he’s a point of reference in Colombia for having played for this team. And then Juventus have had great defenders: Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli. I think they’re role models for me and for all players who play in our position.”

Lucumi now has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the defenders he admires while beginning a new chapter with Juventus. His determination to join the club has finally been rewarded.

The defender will now focus on adapting to his new teammates and helping Juventus during the season. After waiting for the opportunity to arrive, Lucumi can finally begin his dream of playing for the Bianconeri.
