near the shot in midfield

Euro 2020 is about to go live with the beginning of the ad phase direct elimination. With all the implications of the case at the level of transfer market. For the first effect shots of the session it will almost certainly be necessary to wait for the end of the tournament or in any case for the players involved in any negotiations to gradually leave the scene.

It was like that for Hakan Calhanoglu, who became a footballer ofInter after the early elimination of Turkey at the end of the group stage and… hopefully not so for Manuel Locatelli, the most talked about among Roberto Mancini’s 26 Azzurri who are making theItaly whole.

While in fact the Lecco midfielder remains focused on the eighth final against Austria, the Juventus officially started negotiations with Sassuolo, with the clear objective of “blocking” the price tag of the former Milan midfielder, which is constantly on the rise.

On Wednesday the first meeting between the two clubs took place, which had a positive outcome, at least for the Bianconeri colors. Sassuolo does not drop below 40 million as an overall evaluation of the midfielder, but has opened up to the possibility of including a technical counterpart in the deal and is also available to sell Locatelli with the formula of loan with right of redemption, which can become an obligation under certain conditions. This was precisely one of the nodes to overcome, given that Juventus would like to set up an operation-bis compared to the one that led to Turin Federico Chiesa.

Clear ideas also on the counterpart, which should be the promising Romanian defender Radu Dragusin, for some time in Sassuolo’s sights. In the second row Nicolò Fagioli and Felix Correia. If anything, the value of Dragusin’s card should be discussed, with differences of views between the two clubs that can still be overcome.

Locatelli is therefore closer to Juventus and the negotiation may not need many more meetings to be concluded. The player, who asked not to be distracted by the transfer market in this phase of Euro 2020, has for some time given priority to the transfer to Turin, compared to the many interests from abroad, above all that of Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal , with Real Madrid in the background.
