Lucumí agent refuses to rule out Atletico Madrid transfer amid Man Utd rumours | OneFootball

Jhon Lucumí’s agent believes the Bologna defender would settle in well at Atletico Madrid, but the Colombian centre-back is ‘only focused’ on the Rossoblu.

Simone Rondanini, an Italian football agent part of Lucumí’s entourage, refuses to rule out his client’s move to Atlético Madrid.

The Spanish giants are among the clubs linked with a move for the Colombia international, alongside Manchester United.

Tuttomercatoweb asked Rondanini whether Lucumí could join the Colchoneros in the summer, despite a contract expiring in June 2027.

“He would not be the first Colombian to play there. I’m sure that he could establish himself in a team of that calibre,” the Italian agent replied.

“He has achieved impressive numbers in the Champions League, comparable to the best defenders in the competition. He must remain focused, that’s the most important thing, as crucial games are coming up, and we’ll see his level.

“He has a contract in place with Bologna. The World Cup is still far away,” Rondanini continued.

“The important thing is to achieve their targets before the Coppa Italia Final. Then we’ll see. Important clubs in Europe have been following him for a while, but he’s focused on winning with Bologna.”

The Rossoblu have played in the Champions League for the first time in over 60 years this season and are once again competing for a top-four finish in the current campaign.

Vincenzo Italiano’s side currently sit fourth in the Serie A table and have qualified for the Coppa Italia Final for the first time in 51 years.

Lucumí, 26, has been a regular starter under Italiano this term, collecting 38 appearances across all competitions and scoring one goal in the Champions League.
