Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shared how Manuel Locatelli feels about Arsenal’s approach to signing him.
Gunners are currently targeting Locatelli, however, they’re not leading the race with Juventus reportedly in the box seat.
The Italy international is reportedly desperate to join Juventus, and Arsenal are respecting the player’s view, taking a backseat approach, waiting to pounce if Juve drop the ball.
And according to Romano, Locatelli respects Arsenal’s attitude in this situation.
"Talking about him, I see rumours of an Arsenal bid, and this is what the Sassuolo CEO said some days ago, so we know that Arsenal are really serious with Locatelli, so their strategy is a waiting strategy,” Romano said.
“They know the priority of the player is to join Juventus, Locatelli wants to go to Juventus, and until Juventus are in negotiations with Sassuolo, he will push to join Juventus. If they agree, Locatelli will be happy to join Juventus, he is a Juventus fan since he was a baby and he wants to play in the Champions League.
“If this agreement is not completed, keep an eye on Arsenal. They are ready, they are respecting the player, and also the player is appreciating how Arsenal are acting in this deal, saying that they respect his decision to go to Juventus as a priority, but if that deal does not go through with Sassuolo, they will be ready to jump in.”
