James dreaming big as Juventus circle Lucumí

James sets the tone

James Rodríguez is talking like a man who believes. The Colombia captain asked reporters: "Why not dream of a big final?" (1) With the World Cup underway and your team riding momentum from a strong pre-tournament run, James is refusing to put a ceiling on what this squad can achieve. Néstor Lorenzo has the team settled, Flamengo's contingent is clicking, and your number 10 is radiating confidence at exactly the right moment.

Lucumí on Juve's radar

Juventus have made initial inquiries for Bologna center back Jhon Lucumí. The Colombian international has a €28 million release clause that reportedly expires in mid-July (2). Bologna are aware of the interest and the clock is ticking for any club wanting to trigger that clause. Lucumí is currently with the national team at the World Cup, so any transfer noise will have to wait.
