Jhon Lucumi

Recent reports from late 2025 indicate Sunderland made multiple offers for the player, with figures cited at €28 million, €27 million, and £25m (approx. €29.5m), though a later rumour suggested a much lower potential January 2026 bid of €15 million. During summer 2025, Bologna's asking price was reportedly €25 million, and they were said to have rejected a €22 million offer from Sunderland and a €15 million bid from Bournemouth. Roma was linked with an estimated €30 million fee in August 2025. A release clause of €28 million was widely reported as being active until July 2025. Earlier in 2025, market valuations were mentioned at €18 million and €22 million. The player's last completed transfer was from Genk to Bologna in August 2022 for a reported €8 million.

Our valuation is driven by the numerous and consistent reports from summer 2025 regarding Sunderland's intense pursuit of Jhon Lucumi, which included multiple offers up to €28 million. This figure aligns with a widely reported release clause of the same amount. Bologna's consistent asking price of around €25 million and their rejection of several lower bids provide a solid floor for the valuation, which is further supported by his significant value appreciation since his €8 million transfer in 2022.
