As the race for Sassuolo midfielder Manuel Locatelli goes on, website Calcio Mercato features a story with the latest updates on his situation today.
Their piece is mostly focused on Juventus, claiming that the player wants the Old Lady, and his signing has been approved at the club long ago.
The problem is that there are two other clubs who have been moving for the signing, which are Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain.
Calciomercato writes that the Premier League and the Ligue 1 sides have ‘tested the waters’ and could ‘soon make an official offer’ for the Sassuolo star.
Juventus are also having trouble to match Locatelli’s price, as they only want to pay €25m for the move, while Sassuolo demand €40m.
The Old Lady are hopeful they can find a deal by offering ‘technical counterparts’.
Manchester City’s interest in Locatelli had already been reported this week, with outlet Tutto Mercato Web claiming that Pep Guardiola’s side are ‘ready to bid’ for him.
With Juve having a hard time to afford the signing, perhaps the Etihad club could find an advantage in this scenario.
