According to Il Resto del Carlino, Manchester City’s possibility of signing Bologna centre-back Jhon Lucumí has been ended by an injury which is likely to prevent him from playing for several weeks.

Manchester City is seeking to sign a defender because of an emergency in their backline and is considering Bologna's Jhon Lucumi. The English club has reportedly explored a deal for the Colombian international and may soon make a decisive move, especially as they face competition for another target, Guehi, from Liverpool and Bayern Munich. While Bologna would prefer not to sell Lucumi before the summer, the player does not intend to renew his contract that expires in June 2027. His entourage is waiting for Manchester City's next move, and it is felt that Lucumi would not be against taking such a significant opportunity.
