Bologna makes an interesting swap offer to Juventus for Lucumi
Bologna have made an interesting offer to Juventus as they push to seal the deal for Jhon Lucumi during this transfer window, and Juve might agree to the terms.
Lucumi is a player Juventus want to add to their squad , and he is waiting for them to sign him after turning down other approaches, including a bid from Como.

Como and Bologna agreed a fee for his transfer , but the defender was not interested in joining Cesc Fabregas' side, even though they were willing to meet his wage demands and had agreed a fee with Bologna.
He wants to join Juve, and the Bianconeri want to make his dream come true, but the clubs have yet to reach an agreement over the fee he would cost them.
Bologna make an interesting offer
Juventus are in talks to ensure they secure the best possible deal, and Bologna have offered to accept a lower fee if the Bianconeri send Teun Koopmeiners their way, Sport Mediaset reports.
The Dutchman has struggled in Turin, but Bologna want him on loan for one season, with Juventus covering part of his salary in exchange for signing Lucumi for a lower fee than their valuation.

The proposal could appeal to Juventus because Koopmeiners is not exactly one of their most reliable players at the moment. Sending him to Bologna could allow the midfielder to play more regularly while also helping Juve complete their move for Lucumi.
Koopmeiners could reject Bologna
However, the main issue could be whether Koopmeiners is willing to accept the destination. Bologna are not a top club, and the Dutchman might reject the opportunity if he does not believe the move is right for him.
Juventus could therefore have an interesting decision to make. The arrangement would allow them to reduce the fee required for Lucumi while creating a temporary solution for Koopmeiners, but it would only work if the midfielder agrees to join Bologna.

Lucumi remains keen to move to Turin, and Juventus want to sign him, meaning the defender's desire could help the negotiations. However, the proposed swap arrangement still depends on Koopmeiners and whether he is prepared to leave Juventus for a season.
If he accepts, the deal could help all three parties, but Juventus must first determine whether the midfielder is willing to make the move.
