John Lucumi, a Colombian defensive giant, has been on Milan's radar for months. He is highly appreciated for his technical qualities, reactivity, and significant physical structure. Geoffrey Moncada will observe him live again to verify improvements in his attention during the match. Despite a gap in this aspect that has hindered his leap to a top club, the interest from Milan remains concrete and real.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that if the deal for Malick Thiaw goes through, Milan should replace their defender numerically. One of the options is Jhon Lucumì, a Colombian player from Bologna who was a leader in Thiago Motta's defense in the 2023/24 season.
