Man City, Juventus and Real Madrid are the teams “most interested” in signing Sassuolo midfielder Manuel Locatelli, according to reports in Italy.
The 23-year-old spent time as a youth player with Atalanta before he moved to AC Milan. He made his Serie A debut for the Italian giants in 2016 when he was just 18.
The midfielder made 63 appearances for Milan up until the end of the 2017/18 season. He fell down the pecking order with them that summer, which led to his move to Sassuolo.
