Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is interested in adding Manuel Locatelli to his squad, as the midfielder continues to shine at Juventus.
The Bianconeri signed him on an initial loan deal last season, and want the transfer to be permanent this term, which should happen next month.
Max Allegri has used it often, making it clear that Euro 2020 is one of the important players at the club right now.
Juve intend to pay the first installment of his transfer fee before handing him a new long-term contract, but now they face a challenge from Madrid.
A report via Football Italia reveals that the midfielder is one of the players Madrid want to add to their group as they look to remain at the top of the European game.
Ancelotti specifically wants to make him the next Italian midfielder he works with and has asked his employers to secure his signature.
Juve FC says
Locatelli has been one of Juve’s best midfielders since moving to the club last season, and it will be hard for them to sell him.
He’s still young, and we can build our midfield around him if he stays with us for the long haul, and that should be more than enough reason to keep him.
