Juventus offer player-plus-cash deal for Locatelli
Juventus have reportedly offered a player-plus-cash deal to Sassuolo to sign star midfielder Manuel Locatelli, with Allegri being a huge fan of the Italian.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have made an opening bid of โฌ25 million with Nicolo Rovella going the other way.
Sassuolo reportedly want โฌ40 million for Locatelli, but the Bianconeri are willing to test their resolve by adding Nicolo Fagiolo to the deal in order to offset the fee being paid.
Juventus believe that adding the two youngsters to the deal should be enough for Sassuolo to part ways with Locatelli this summer.
Juventus interested in signing Manchester City striker on loan
Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Gabriel Jesus on loan from Manchester City this summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via Football Italia, Max Allegri is preparing for the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, and is targeting Jesus to replace the Portuguese forward at the club.
Manchester City are reportedly interested in bringing in Erling Haaland or Harry Kane this summer, and are willing to allow the Brazilian to leave in order to raise funds.
Juventus shortlist three goalkeepers
With Gianluigi Buffon set to leave the club and Wojciech Szczesny's future uncertain, Juventus are reportedly ready to sign a goalkeeper this summer.
According to Marca, the Bianconeri have shortlisted three potential targets that they will pursue this summer. The list includes Sampdoria's Emil Audero, Cagliari's Alessio Cragno and Napoli's David Ospina.
Audero and Cragno will be more expensive options this summer, but with new Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti seeing Ospina as surplus to requirements, Juventus will find the Colombian easier to sign.
