The 23-year-old Locatelli joins initially on a two-year loan deal and the move will then be made permanent for a fee of up to 35.5 million euros. Locatelli was part of Italy’s European Championship winning squad. He was one of the best players in the group stage, scoring two goals against Switzerland in Italy’s second match.
