Juventus, new meeting scheduled with Sassuolo for Locatelli: the latest

Juventus are working on the midfield that Massimiliano Allegri will have to work with.

The first choice has been Manuel Locatelli, the Sassuolo player who the Juventus directors have identified as their target.

After initial meetings and the offers made by Juventus that were not up to what Sassuolo demanded, on Thursday morning there is a new meeting between the sides expected.

Juventus are now ready to make a new official offer that gets closer to Sassuolo's original asking amount. The bianconeri directors are hoping that a new offer can meet Sassuolo's demands and lead to a completed deal for Locatelli.
