Juventus ‘to offer’ Manuel Locatelli in bid for Marseille’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg | OneFootball

Gazzetta suggests that Juventus, who are not expected to spend heavily in January, have identified Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as a key midfield target and could look to include Manuel Locatelli in a swap.

Hojbjerg is an integral figure at Marseille and has frequently captained the side under Roberto De Zerbi. Neither the club nor the coach are keen to lose him in January.

Juventus have prioritised reinforcing their midfield next month. The Turin club believe De Zerbi appreciates Locatelli, which they view as a potential advantage in any approach.

Sending Locatelli to the Vélodrome could help unlock a deal, and the midfielder has been strongly linked with OM in the past.

Any move remains uncertain given Marseille’s reluctance to sanction a January exit for Hojbjerg.
