Lucumí: A Colombian Wall in Atlético's Sights
Atlético de Madrid, always ambitious, is already planning for next season and looking to strengthen its defense with guarantees. Faced with the possible departure of important players, the sports management of the ‘rojiblanco’ team has a name on the agenda: Lucumí, the solid Colombian central defender from Bologna.
Although Cuti Romero is the absolute priority, the complexity of his signing has led the club to explore top-level alternatives. Lucumí, known as ‘The Wall’, stands out for his height, speed, and effectiveness in interceptions.
His great performance in Serie A, where he is considered one of the best defenders, has attracted the attention of several clubs, including Inter. The player, an admirer of Perea, has a contract until 2027, but his price, estimated at around 25 million euros, makes him an attractive option for Atlético.
The Colombian international has been a key pillar in Bologna, playing 38 games this season between Serie A, Champions League, and Coppa Italia. His experience and quality could bring solidity and hierarchy to the ‘rojiblanca’ defense. With the transfer market just around the corner, Atlético is closely following Lucumí’s situation, preparing to strengthen its defense with a top-level player.
