All Juve: Arsenal are eyeing Juve midfielder Locatelli for a transfer fee of 40 million euros【hongyan】

    Arsenal are making transfer plans for the summer window, especially in midfield. The north London giants aim to further strengthen their midfield in order to consolidate their competitiveness and achieve more ambitious goals. Following the signing of Rice last summer, Arteta will make another bold move to improve the position. Although no final selection has been made, the Gunners have several potential targets in mind, including Juve star Locatelli.

    Of course, Locatelli is not Arsenal's first choice, the Gunners currently prefer Newcastle United midfielder Guimaraes, Arteta saw his versatility, Juve had also been rumored with him. However, given the difficulty of completing a deal, Arsenal are also evaluating other targets, such as Locatelli, the Italy international who has played relatively consistently under Massimiliano Allegri and whose talent could be further developed under Arteta.

    With his superb technique and ability to cover different areas of the pitch, Locatelli is expected to be an ideal fit in Arsenal's midfield. While negotiations with Juventus may be complicated, the appeal of playing under Arteta could convince the talented midfielder to move to London.

    Locatelli joined Juve on loan and buyout from Sassuolo in the summer of 2021 for a total of 37 million euros, and the Bianconeri are now asking for him in the region of 40 million euros.
