Arsenal have been dealt another blow in their bid to sign Manuel Locatelli as the Italian midfielder has suggested he would prefer to join Juventus by admitting it is 'pleasing' to have attracted interest from them. Locatelli was one of Italy's best performers on their magical run to win Euro 2020. Speaking about his future after returning to Italy with the European Championship trophy, Locatelli told Sky Sport Italia: 'Up until now, I haven't really thought about it, I couldn't. 'The interest of Juventus is pleasing, they are a great team and I have said it several times.' I would have taken one yesterday, anyway, luckily the others did it.'
