Manuel Locatelli was the subject of transfer interest from Arsenal before moving to Juventus.
The Gunners watched him at Euro 2020 and concluded that he fits their style of play.
They pushed to sign him from Sassuolo, but his mind was only on signing for Juventus.
The midfielder has finally landed the transfer of his dreams, but that hasn’t stopped England clubs from circulating.
Recent reports insist that Arsenal remain interested in him, but another club tried to sign him in the last transfer window.
A report by Calciomercato reveals that before they negotiated the transfer of Adrien Rabiot, Manchester United asked about the Azzurri star.
However, he immediately rejected them because he wants to continue wearing black and white.
Juve FC says
Locatelli has not had the best moments as a Juventus player, but he is still one of the best players in our team.
It is only a matter of time before he reaches his best form and he is showing good commitment in rejecting the approach of these clubs.
We need him to show the form we saw at Euro 2020 on a consistent basis.
If he doesn’t, when Paul Pogba is available to play, he could lose his place in the first team.
