Juventus are wotking to bolster their midfield with the addition of Sassuolo's Manuel Locatelii. The Bianconeri are in fact preparing a new bid for the Italian midfielder as the contacts between the parties continue.
The talks between Sassuolo and Juventus have been going on for weeks, with the Neroverdi turning down Juve's proposals of a two-year loan with obligation to buy.
Locatelli is Juventus top priority as they remain hopeful that their next offer will persuade Sassuolo to give the green-light to the transfer of the 23-year-old, who has already made clear that his desire is to join the Bianconeri.
However, Juventus are also considering Barcelona's Miralem Pjanic as their plan B, should they not succeed in their pursuit of Locatelli. Finally, the Bianconeri have also set their sights on Monaco's midfidelder Aurelien Tchouameni, 21.
