Al Ahli make offer for Juventus’ Manuel Locatelli | OneFootball

Serie A side Juventus have received an offer from Al Ahli for midfielder Manuel Locatelli.

The Old Lady are working on sales this summer before they sign more players. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the eigning Asian champions Al Ahli, who have two former Serie A players in Franck Kessié and Roger Ibanez, are looking for a defensive midfielder and have set their sights on the Juventus player, submitting an official offer of €25 million to the club, guaranteeing a double-digit salary for the Italian.

The Bianconeri haven’t even considered this offer, as Igor Tudor sees Locatelli as a key part of the side.

Al Ahli are looking to raise their offer to €30 million but so far, Juve have completely closed their door, having identified the midfielder as one of the important targets to bolster their squad. Other targets include Milan star Youssouf Fofana and ex-Juve player Denis Zakaria.
