Yeah but Locatelli rejected us 18 months ago because he wanted to go to Juventus. You'd have to cancel a two year loan after 1.5 years, convince Locatelli to come when he didn't want to leave Italy before, negotiate with Sassuolo again where Locatelli's contract has another 1.5 years left etc. Sassuolo are also on very good terms with Juve

How much would we pay anyway, Juve were going to pay 37m but that seems a bit high for a player who'd have just a year on his contract and is in poor form now. Definitely not "quite easy" because none of the parties but us would push for this deal

I don't think he's settled at Juve, and he is not being used.
Also the situation is very different versus when he rejected us. Arsenal have gone from 8th to top 2 in England and have the most exciting young squad in the world. Juve meanwhile play a style football that could induce such a severe sleep as to result in death.

Juve are skint. If I were them I would unwind an oblgation to pay 37m for a player they do not use. 37m for a player who will replace Partey or Xhaka for us is bang in the sweet spot. We should be spending 30-50m for our starters typically unless we unearth a future Martinelli

Ja. I'd definitely be in for Locatelli right now. Him at his best and in a functioning system would be a great win for us, and possibly him. Only question is if he's ready to leave Italy and try out his hand in the premier league. Don't see why not.

How many times has it happened in the past that a club cancelled a loan so another club could come in and sign the player in question? Genuine question, don't think it's happened before

Claudius

Jones, you're right. I cnanot think of too many examples. I am just saying that the circumstances are in place for Juve to cancel and cut their losses before they commit a lot of money they don't want to. We could even wait til the summer as well.

Bennacer has changed agent, and his contract renewal has stalled. That is another Serie A guy to watch.

Big Willie

Isn't it an obligation to buy. Not sure Juve could just try to cancel it even if they wanted unless it was just an option.

Edit: Fucking hell Bennacer is just 24 even after all these years? Wow.

QuincyAbeyie

Hes a lot nearer 25 than he is 24.

Burnwinter

That's a fact.

Clrnc

Quincy he's 24 till he turns 25.

Big Willie

Wtf does LaLiga have to do with building cases against Juve? Furthermore have they seen the state of Barca and the financial gymnastics they've done with regards to their accounts? This is mad.

Terrible news. RIP to one of the great defenders of our era

Big Willie

RIP. He had one of the best free kick taking abilities ever. A wand of a left foot.

Napoli open up a big lead at the top of Serie A. Hopefully a good omen for us tomorrow

JazzG

What a fucking duo Napoli have in Osimhen & Kvaradona! Would love to see them go on and win it, surely they have to now!

MistaT

They laid it down on Juventus who had been in solid form.
