Juventus will reportedly contact Sassuolo regarding the Manuel Locatelli negotiations today and the two parties are moving closer to set up a meeting to sign an agreement.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the two parties will talk over the phone today and if they reach an agreement, the two clubs will meet to define the details and sign the agreement.
Locatelli’s move to Juventus has been a lengthy and complicated operation and the newspaper reveals the Bianconeri and the Neroverdi will continue talks over the phone today.
The general agreement on the transfer fee was not enough, the two parties must now overcome the formula obstacle.
The Bianconeri have shortened the link to the obligation to buy with conditions, which the report claims are linked to the Champions League and appearances at Juventus.
Sassuolo would like an unconditional obligation to buy or an easy target that will be reached almost immediately.
The club from Reggio-Emilia would like to close the annual budget with an outright sale and that’s why there’s no scheduled appointment for the next meeting.
Juventus expect to reach an agreement over the phone and focus on closing the deal before meeting with the Nerorverdi to sign the deal.

He’s a must for Juve. If Pjanic is the best they can do in this transfer window, then they have little hope, even with Allegri coming back.
But getting Locatelli could push them back up as favs for the title, given the trouble at Inter. Atalanta should be up there too if their new signings do well.
Please don’t bring back Pjanic.
Enough of it .. get the deal completed in a day so he can start training with Juve. Needs to get back to top form soon .. not to forget WC Qualifiers are due in next 16-17 days!
