Juventus signed Manuel Locatelli on loan with an obligation to buy last season, but moved the first installment forward to 2023 to prepare him.
The midfielder has been one of the key men for them since he arrived at the club, and he’s getting better and better as he spends more time in Turin.
You’ve been one of their key men this term, and you’re ready to be rewarded by turning your loan deal into a permanent transfer.
A report on Calciomercato reveals that Juventus are now set to activate the first part of their deal to keep him in Turin early next year.
When they make the payment, they will open talks with their environment about a contract extension.
His midfield is being built around him, and Juve want to link him to a new long-term deal.
Juve FC says
Locatelli has been one of our most important players, and it is not surprising that the club is taking the option of signing him permanently.
He has improved this season and we expect him to continue to provide the best performance for the club in the coming seasons.
