Amid a Juventus midfield full of doubts and uncertainties, Manuel Locatelli continues to be the sole guarantee for Massimiliano Allegri.
The 24-year-old Italian midfielder joined the Bianconeri last summer from Sassuolo on a two-year loan deal with a conditional obligation to buy clause attached. Despite Juventus’ struggles in the first half of last season, Locatelli still looked like a quality midfielder and put in a number of good performances.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Locatelli seems to be the sole certainty for Allegri in the Juventus midfielder, with the department completely shrouded in doubt.
Paul Pogba is out for seemingly months with a knee injury, Arthur and Adrien Rabiot both seem set to depart soon, Denis Zakaria and Weston McKennie can also leave in the face of a decent offer and Nicolo Fagioli is still a relative unknown at the highest level.
Juventus are hoping to pick up Paris Saint-Germain’s Leandro Paredes to give Allegri another reliable option in the midfield, but first they need to finalise the departure of Arthur.
