Arsenal are preparing an offer for Sassulo midfielder Manuel Locatelli.

The Gunners reportedly have scouts watching Locatelli playing for Italy at Euro 2020.

Now the north London outfit are readying an offer of €40m for the 25-year-old, per Gazzetta Dello Sport.

There is only problem however as Locatelli would prefer a move to Juventus.

The young Italian star has caught the eye of many clubs after a breakout season in Serie A.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is a fan of Locatelli, while Chelsea have also shown an interest.
