Sassuolo midfielder Manuel Locatelli has dismissed speculation linking him away from the club this summer - insisting he is focused on fulfilling his childhood dream of representing Italy at a major tournament.
The 23-year-old has been tipped for a move to Manchester City and Juventus in recent weeks after another impressive campaign with his club, which earned the former Milan playmaker a call-up to Roberto Mancini's Italy squad for the Euros.
Locatelli is expected to start in the place of the injured Marco Verratti in the tournament's opening game on Friday, when Italy take on Turkey in Rome's Stadio Olimpico.
