Manuel Locatelli

[MD3 Gunner]

Was reading somewhere that Sassuolo were open to taking some bumms on loan from Juventus to lower the fee.

He’s 100% going to Juve.

Mad how these italian clubs twerk for Juve

Hes 100% going juve I agree with everyone here. But for me it's nice that we are bidding £35M for a xhaka replacement along with signing Lakonga and bidding big for White. Bigger picture.

However Italians never adapt to PL, just look at Zola, Di Matteo, Vialli, Ravanelli, Di Canio and Carbone - all useless!

Seem Sassuolo prefer 35-40M than cash plus player. this won't be the last thing we hear about Locatelli until italy out of euros.

I still think we got a shot at Camavinga if we really want him

 

[MD3 Gunner]

Uhm...

 

[Elite Smarts]

Uhm...

Yeah how is Juve going to offer enough money.

I agree. Juventus are broke and Arsenal are offering real money to Sassulo.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Bruv Juventus aren't bidding enough for him I've been saying it for weeks. If locatelli is desperate to join juve then they'll sort something in terms of loan with obligation.

However there might actually be an outside chance as we've bid good money...

I think Orny will contact the club if this is true don't think they'll give info. but i doubt other clubs DOF tells lie because that very disrespectful.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

Its a win-win whatever happens. We sign him, we've got a quality player, we don't, we got other options like Camavinga, Bissouma, etc

What's interesting is that their CEO mentioned us by name

This would be a very decent signing - not my first choice but still a good signing. Definitely a Xhaka replacement in every sense of the word and Arteta definitely wants a first phase progressive passer. Good thing with Locatelli is that he isn't completely immobile like Xhaka is most of the time - also a very aggressive ball winner aswell.

My scepticism here is that this is a classic "hurry up and pay" ploy from Sassuolo to Juve. That said, Serie A and their broke asses can't afford **** so this could be feasible for us if we want it.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

I like the ambition though fair play to the club

 

[RunTheTrap]

I honestly think Sassoulo are just using us so Juve could up their bid

True, but its also true we have interest in their player. A club president wouldn't name-drop us unless we bidded.

Yes DOF don't mention names but it's happen in with Italians DOF they can't keep their mouth shut.

We need to pull off a deal like this just to stop being a laughing stock. Arteta has ruined our reputation.

So we’ve spent years developing xhaka only to sell him for an inferior player who is not the finished project?

There's always that one negative gentleman..

Those aren't options. Arsenal are looking for DLP players.
