Report Juventus reject Al Ahli 25m offer for Locatelli

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have rejected a €25m bid from Al Ahli for Manuel Locatelli.

Juventus have turned down an offer worth €25m for their captain Locatelli, according to Gazzetta.

Juventus turn down offer for Locatelli

The 2024-25 AFC Champions League Elite winners have identified the Italian midfielder as an ideal reinforcement in the middle of the park, but Juventus coach Igor Tudor sees Locatelli as a key part of his project.

According to the report, the Saudi Pro League giants have also offered Locatelli a double-digit salary and are even eager to raise their bid to €30m.

Ex-Serie A stars Franck Kessié and Roger Ibanez play for Al Ahli, but according to Gazzetta, it’s highly unlikely that Locatelli will join them as the ex-Sassuolo midfielder is not for sale, not even for €30m.

Juventus hope Zakaria joins Al Ahli instead of Locatelli

Milan’s Youssouf Fofana and Monaco’s Denis Zakaria are also on Al Ahli’s radars.

The Saudi side have reportedly offered €45m for the ex-Juventus man, who is unconvinced about joining the club.

However, should he change his mind and join Al Ahli, Juventus would be entitled to a sell-on percentage.
