If Juventus are in for him, he'll go to them. Italians rarely turn down a move for Juventus. They're like the Bayern Munich of Italy when it comes to snapping up players in their league, especially Italians.

Certainly. Still, you never know. I'm mainly just posting concrete bids/reports on the Arsenal board when they come up. Juventus do miss out on players when they can't afford them though, and they want a loan to buy.

This stinks of:

We almost signed......

Good player, and I'm sure the bid is real, but if he has the opportunity to go to Juve under Allegri, then we've got pretty much no chance.

Good player but the Premiership is a graveyard for Italian strikers. There's not been that many really I guess. I can't really think of one that has ever done exceptionally well bar Ravanelli and Zola.

I'm pretty sure Locatelli is a midfielder though...

Nah I doubt we will get him, they just want to push Juve in making a decision

More chance of brand new telly than Locatelli

Xhaka has been the best midfielder at the Euros so whoever you get will be a downgrade

Dunno wtf I was thinking there.

Haven't really seen Locatelli play much (apart from watching a few Italy games at the Euros where he's been very good). Will he really be that good for us week-in, week-out in a fast-paced PL? He seems to have a lot of hype around him.

There haven't been many successful Italians in the Premier League full stop.

Not that that means anything.

Seems like total BS to me. No chance of us signing him. Also I’m not really sure if he’s even that good.

Dangerous signing a player because of a couple of decent performances in a tournament!

Excellent hair

Apparently he’s going to Juve.

This rumour is absolute bollox. Can't see him in the PL. And this... "Dangerous signing a player because of a couple of decent performances in a tournament!"

Not even sure he played that good.
