Exclusive: Juventus still interested in AC Milan starlet

Serie A giants Juventus are still pursuing the signature of AC Milan’s young midfielder Manuel Locatelli, CalcioMercato understand.

It is believed that the Old Lady did hold talks about bringing the Italian to Turin this past summer as well, but the rossoneri were firm in their stance in July of not letting Locatelli go.

Milan are still very much intent on keeping him and aren’t willing to hold discussions about the player, despite him in need of more game time. Massimiliano Mirabelli really likes the player, but neither of Marco Fassone or Vincenzo Montella are willing to sell Locatelli.

Juventus will look to sit on the table once again in January for Locatelli, as they are said to be in need of a midfielder. If not Locatelli, the Old Lady will look to go after either Cagliari’s Nicolo Barella or Benfica’s Bryan Cristante, who is currently on loan at Atalanta.
