Manuel Locatelli has been a key player for Juventus since his arrival in 2021. The midfielder, who helped Italy win the European Championship that year, has been a wanted man in the football world, with his impressive performances for Sassuolo catching the attention of top clubs.
One of those clubs was Arsenal, who were keen on bringing Locatelli to London. However, the player himself preferred a move to Turin, where he grew up as a Juventus fan. In an interview with Tuttosport, Locatelli revealed that he has no regrets about rejecting Arsenal's offer three years ago, but he did have praise for their coach, Mikel Arteta.
Despite not winning many trophies with Juventus so far, Locatelli remains passionate about football and his love for the game. He admits that he watches all kinds of matches, from the glamorous Champions League games to the intense battles in Serie B. For him, football is more than just a job, it's a way of life.
During his time at Juventus, Locatelli has grown both as a person and as a player. He believes that he has become more consistent and is always looking to improve. This season, under the guidance of new manager Thiago Motta, Juventus have made a solid start, although not a very thrilling one. They have won two of their first five Serie A games, with the other three ending in goalless draws.
But despite the lack of excitement on the pitch, Locatelli remains dedicated and determined to give his best for the team. He constantly questions himself and works hard every day to become a better player. And with one more year left on his contract, he is focused on making the most out of his time at Juventus.
As for Arsenal, Locatelli still has a lot of respect for them, their coach, and their style of play. But for now, he is content with his decision to join Juventus and is looking forward to what the future holds for him at the club.
