It is arguably one of the longest soap operas of the summer. Already courted by Juventus since the end of last season, Manuel Locatelli is on time, one week before the departure of Serie A version 2021/2022, a player of Sassuolo. But according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, it is today that the file will move and make the midfielder a new player of the Old Lady.
It’s the big day for Locatelli
A meeting is scheduled this Friday afternoon at the headquarters of the Piedmont club where Pavel Nedved and Andrea Agnelli are expected, and the newspaper with the pink leaves is certain, the two clubs will finally come to an agreement after countless exchanges, sometimes unsuccessful. , sometimes constructive. It remains to be seen under what formula the protagonists will find common ground.
Since the start of negotiations, the Neroverdi have claimed 40 M € in fixed terms thanks to a one-year loan of 5 M €, and a purchase obligation of 35 M €. They also wanted to include around € 10m in various bonuses and a resale percentage of up to 15%. Juventus had hitherto offered an offer of € 32 million under various formulas (high resale percentage, condition of the obligation to purchase, etc.).
The player already agrees with Juve
Sassuolo will lower his claims according to the Journal, in particular on fixed indemnities, because the percentage on resale does not seem to be a problem. This is where the solution must be found. Juve will inflate their offer and even consider including a player in the transaction. Young people Radu Dragusin and Nicolò Fagioli were proposed but refused, while there is reflection around Filippo Ranocchia.
It is not Felix Correia who will put oil in the wheels, because the Portuguese hope is about to be loaned to Parma but the question of the player remaining to be included is ultimately only a detail. It could even be resolved separately from the Locatelli case. Author of a very good Euro despite playing a substitute role in the second half of the competition, the 23-year-old is already in agreement with the Turinese and could arrive in the next few days if agreed. His suitcases are ready.
