Locatelli

Locatelli wants Juventus, there is competition from Arsenal but the desire of the player will be the difference-maker. Sooner rather than later the deal with Juventus will be done. [Corriere Dello Sport]

Arthur

Arthur chose not to have surgery hoping to resolve his injury with therapy. He now will take part in the pre-season and test the pain. If it’s still strong, a surgery will take place, he will be out for at least 2 months. [Gazzetta Dello Sport]

Rovella

Rovella will spend pre-season with Genoa. Juventus are likely to send him there on loan but a final decision will be taken in the next few weeks. [Romeo Agresti]
