Juventus have reportedly turned down an offer worth €25 million from Al-Ahli who were hoping to sign Manuel Locatelli.
The 27-year-old has been playing his football at the Allianz Stadium since making the move from Sassuolo in the summer of 2021.
The Euro 2020 winner has been a regular starter since his arrival at the club, and he was appointed club captain last season under the orders of Igor Tudor who considered him the most suited profile for the role.

Locatelli is tied to Juventus with a contract valid until June 2028, but according to Fabrizio Romano, Al-Ahli tried to break this bond by placing €25 million on the table.
The Italian journalist revealed on his Italian YouTube channel that the Bianconeri swiftly rejected the offer, as they have no intention to part ways with the midfielder anytime soon.
As the transfer market insider explains, Simone Inzaghi is keen to bring in a new midfielder, so the Al-Ahli management have put together a three-man shortlist.
