Arsenal have made an ‘important’ bid for Italy midfielder Manuel Locatelli, says Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali.
The Gunners expressed interest in signing the Euro 2020 star earlier in the month and have now contacted Sassuolo with an official offer, according to Carnevali.
He told Sky Sport: ‘Arsenal have made an official bid for Locatelli. They’re pushing hard to sign Manuel and it’s an important bid… we will see.
‘Also Juventus want Locatelli and we’ve a special relationship with them. We’ve a new meeting scheduled with Juve.’
Locatelli, 23, has established himself as one of Sassuolo’s most important players over the past two seasons, with his form also attracting interest from Serie A giants Juventus.
The midfielder has featured in three of Italy’s four Euro 2020 fixtures to date, helping Roberto Mancini’s side cruise through the group stages and into the quarter-finals of the tournament.
