However, Bologna seems hesitant to sell Lucumi. The team is facing a similar situation with another centre-half, Sam Beukema, who is set to join Napoli. As a result, Bologna plans to extend Lucumi's contract for another year until 2027, rather than letting him go.
Bologna also wants to increase Lucumi's salary, which is currently €1 million per year. Despite these developments, Lucumi is not cooperating with the negotiations. He has become hesitant after learning about Sunderland's interest in signing him.
Recently, Bologna's chief, Claudio Fenucci, expressed his willingness to extend Lucumi's contract. He mentioned that the team will meet with Lucumi and his agent in the near future to discuss the contract extension.
