Sassuolo ace Manuel Locatelli has rejected an offer from Arsenal.

That's according to Italian journalist Paolo Bargiggia, who claims the star had a one word answer to the prospect of an Arsenal transfer.

He told Juventus News 24: "Juventus will take him for sure. The boy said no to Arsenal.

"The formula is complex: Juve are doing everything not to take him under the obligation of redemption, while Sassuolo push.

"There's talk of a €40m operation. Eventually, it will do: one way or another."
