According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund have contacted Sassuolo for Manuel Locatelli while Juventus will offer €30m plus Radu Dragusin today.
Locatelli, 23, is regarded as one of Italy’s most interesting prospects. He has scored two goals at the Euros and he is expected to leave Sassuolo in the summer.
The Neroverdi value him at €40m and according to several reports, the club’s CEO Giovanni Carnevali will meet Juventus’ sporting director Federico Cherubini today.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Juventus will offer €30m plus Radu Dragusin, a 19-year-old centre-back who made Serie A and Champions League debut last term under Andrea Pirlo.
However, Sassuolo value Dragusin between €7m and €8m, slightly less than Juventus’ €10m.
The Old Lady could fill the gap by adding some cash in their offer, or including another player in the deal.
Sassuolo are reportedly in no rush to reach an agreement, as big clubs such as Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund have already shown interest in the 23-year-old.
Locatelli has also informed his club that he doesn’t want to discuss transfer issues during the Euros and that he will only consider his future at the end of the tournament.
Meantime, Juventus continue to push to secure his services.
