After rejecting Juventus' first offer for Manuel Locatelli, Sassuolo have informed the Bianconeri of their asking price for the Italian star.

Juventus previously offered Sassuolo a two-year loan deal with a fee of €5 million and an option to buy the midfielder for €25 million at the end of the stint.

Sassuolo, however, want an €8-10 million loan fee, with an obligation to buy Locatelli for €25 million plus €10 million in add-ons and bonuses.

It remains to be seen whether Juventus will match Sassuolo's asking price for the player.

Premier League club Arsenal are reportedly ready to pay Sassuolo's original asking price of €40 million plus €5 million in add-ons. However, Locatelli reportedly has his heart set on joining Juventus this summer.
