Juventus have turned down a €25 million offer from Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli for midfielder Manuel Locatelli. The bid was made last week but was not considered sufficient by the Italian club, who see the 26-year-old as an important part of their squad.
With the rejection, Al Ahli have shifted focus to alternative targets and are now in talks to sign Denis Zakaria. However, negotiations have yet to receive the player’s approval, leaving the deal uncertain.
Locatelli, a Euro 2020 winner with Italy, has been a regular starter for Juventus since joining from Sassuolo in 2021 and remains a key figure in their midfield plans under new boss Thiago Motta.
