You'd think if we are still bidding there is some encouragement from somewhere that a deal can happen surely?
@FabrizioRomano ⚪️ EXCL: Sunderland send improved bid to Bologna for Jhon Lucumí worth €28m plus 10% sell-on clause. #SAFC want Lucumí as priority target but Bologna insist on keeping the Colombian centre back.
Time to move on from Lucumi if they don't accept that improved offer quickly imo, dragging on far too long
Sounds like the club are trying to put pressure on them ahead of the deadline, I think it’ll eventually go through but we’ll probably need to hit €30 million.
If the player stands to miss out on a big wage jump, they are going to have a very unhappy player on their hands. Very unhappy.
