Manuel Locatelli moved to Juventus last summer as one of the finest midfielders in Italy.
He had starred for the Italian national team at Euro 2020 and had interest from all over European football.
Juve beat Arsenal to add him to their squad, even though the English club had been prepared to pay more money for his signature.
So much was expected from him and Juve fans remain hopeful he would reach his fullest potential.
However, how good has he been since he moved to the club?
Perhaps, he has been worse than fans expected and the former AS Roma midfielder Stefano Impallomeni has noticed his decline.
He says the midfielder is different from the player that turned heads at Sassuolo.
“Flop Locatelli, he looks like another player compared to the one seen in Sassuolo, I see him as a water carrier who flounders.” He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb.
Juve FC Says
Juve fans were excited when their club won the race for Locatelli, considering the quality of the competition chasing after his signature.
The midfielder remains one of the finest in his position in Italy, at least on paper.
But he must do more to show he can reach the heights predicted for him when he first moved to Juve.
A good start would be Allegri playing him in his best position – that of a box-to-box midfielder, not as a regista. Allegri destroys player’s careers and must be sacked before he does more damage to this playing roster which is not as bad as is made out.
we must support the players online when they get criticism especially from allegri as he has started throwing miretti under the bus already. Vlahovic and the youngsters will regress.
He is currently in great depths.
Allegri destroyed Vlahovic and Locatelli
now it’s also Bremer’s turn and anyone else he buys
the media will never tell us this, but it is absolutely true.
He’s being played out of position. He is box to box. They still can’t manage to have a regista because they don’t have faith in youth. Otherwise, both fagioli and rovella are good in that role. I’ve been wanting to give Allegri his chance and will continue. But if there is no improvement by the world cup start then he must be sacked.
lol allegri is clueless. he literally said he doesn`t know how to use him… this is a professional coach? yo we are in real trouble, and mr 9 mill a season kicks back and blames the players along with the media
