The negotiations between Sassuolo and the bianconeri will pick up on Wednesday morning, when a meeting between the clubs is scheduled.
Sassuolo demands for Locatelli are €40 million: the neroverdi have also okayed the insertion of 2002-born defender Dragusin in the deal.

Juventus will look to secure a deal on loan (preferring two years) with purchase obligation, looking not to pile onto their balances.
