The Sassoulo CEO seems very dicey tbh, always going on about some meeting with Juve and some club from abroad. It was Arsenal one week ago, now its some anonymous club. Why doesn't he have that meeting then, doesnt know where Juventus are?

Bayern or PSG?

They are looking for a midfielder (Camavinga was reported to be on their list as well), so that is why i wouldnt rule them out. The Spanish clubs wont have the money and in the PL i dont see the links to him.
PSG were not exactly short in midfield though and already added Wijnaldum this summer. I am still inclined to believe that Carnevali is just making shit up to try and press Juve to meet their asking price.

Question is would you take him at United, not seen nearly enough of him to have my own opinion

Locatelli to Juve must be the most boring transfer saga yet...
This is what happens if your management think they can constantly reduce the transfer fee by promising exorbitant wages to any player.

The Italians in recent years don't do so well outside of Italy. Probably worth avoiding
Well, the good players kind of do actually. See Verratti, Jorginho...

Pretty sure Donnarumma, Chiesa, Barella, would do well anywhere. Chiellini and Bonucci would have, too

From "One to watch" to --------> Fast fast, hurry hurry up = Run to buy. Please stop watching and hurry up.

Totally complete as CM or closest to complete it can get. This is what United need. If United goal is to win premier league again. Not only top 4 each year.

Bellingham nr.8 + Locatelli nr.6 would be the most ideal CM duo. Will complement each others really well. Both have a really dominance presence. Bellingham in a few will become a beast with his natural physical + The brain and top creative mind of Locatelli. Its the way to go.

Locatelli = a maestro, the brain architect of the team. If you take out the brain of team. Then you are done. Same with United without Paul Scholes or REal Madrid without Modric.

Did you miss the part where he joined Juve last year? Not that we ever had a chance before that as the player was pretty emphatic about not being interested in leaving Italy but having completed his dream move there is no way in hell we could ever sign him.

This is the thing: Italians rarely like to leave Italy. Otherwise we (or some other monied side) would have been offering silly money for Chiesa directly after Italy won the European Championship.

Yup - as ideal as he'd be, it's an absolute non starter. People on this forum need to stop living in a dream land where we can just sign any old players we decide on. Locatelli is madness, having Bellingham and Locatelli is absolutely ridiculous, it will never happen.

Not only your description often is way off the mark but also not even realistic. Also the way you formulate your posts :houllier:. Does anyone take him seriously ?
