Looking ahead to 2022, the challenge is to incorporate Erling Haaland, but for this summer the main objective of the Juventus is to sign the midfielder from Sassuolo Manuel Locatelli, which recently offered a great performance in the Eurocup with Italy, mainly in the group stage. Also sought after by teams such as Manchester City, the footballer would be for the task of joining Juventus immediately, signing as a ‘bianconero’ until June 2025, but the agreement between clubs remains to be closed.
The Sassuolo asks for 45 million euros and does not move from there, while Juventus for the moment does not exceed 40. In addition, in Turin, rather than having to pay the amount of the operation already, they are more for the work of undertaking a two-year assignment with compulsory purchase after the same, a formula that does not convince the Sassuolo. They seem condemned to understand each other, but at the moment there is no agreement.
At 23 years old, Locatelli he is one of the emerging midfielders of the moment. He passed through the lower categories of the Atalanta and also by the Milan, but it has been in the Sassuolo where it has just exploded to get on the radar of the Juventus and other giants of Europe.
