Manuel Locatelli Biography

Manuel Locatelli is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on January 8, 1998 in Lecco, Lombardy, Italy. Manuel Locatelli, born 8 January 1998 in Italy, is a footballer from Italy who plays as a middleman for the Serie A club Sassuolo.

Locatelli started his career at Atalanta before moving to Milan when he was 11. He progressed in each category of youth with the Rossoneri, including Primavera to Esordienti. Locatelli signed his first professional contract in March 2015 with Milan. It was effective from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018.

He made his debut with the Italy U21 team on 23 March 2017, in a friendly match won 2–1 against Poland. In June 2017, he was included in the Italy under-21 squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship by manager Luigi Di Biagio. Italy were eliminated by Spain in the semi-finals on 27 June, following a 3–1 defeat.

Locatelli began the season as a starter in the second leg of Milan’s Europa League qualification match against CS U Craiova, playing a vital role in Milan’s 2–0 win on 3 August 2017. However, Montolivo’s eventual recovery combined with the arrival of Lucas Biglia and frequent changes of formation under Vincenzo Montella started to limit his playing time. In November 2017, Montella was dismissed and replaced by Gennaro Gattuso who also viewed Locatelli as more of a backup for either Biglia or Montolivo than a starting lineup player. He finished the season with only 15 starts (of which only 5 were in Serie A) and 18 sub-ins.

Locatelli was called up to Milan’s senior squad ahead of the away match against Udinese on 22 September 2015. He remained an unutilized substitute. Sinisa Mihajlovic, Milan’s then-head coach, promoted him to the first team later that season. On 21 April 2016, he made his Serie A debut at the age of 18, replacing Andrea Poli, who had been playing for 87 minutes against Carpi. He made his debut as a starter in the final league match against Roma at San Siro on 14 May 2016.

Locatelli plays primarily as a playmaker in the deep, operating in front of team’s defense in a similar role to Andrea Pirlo. He can play in a 4-3-3 formation, but that is not his preferred position. He is able to see, pass, control ball, and dribble well. His ability to read the game and win balls was sufficient for a defensive player. He was regarded as a promising young player and The Guardian in 2015 named him one the 50 most talented young players in the world born in 1998.

He was part of the Italy U-17 team that participated in the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He was part of the Italy U-19 team that participated in the 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. Italy came in second.

He made his season debut in a 1–0 victory over Sampdoria appearing as a second-half substitute. On 2 October 2016, after coming on as a substitute for captain Riccardo Montolivo, Locatelli scored his first Serie A goal with his first ever shot goal in a dramatic 4–3 win over Sassuolo. Beginning the season on the bench, Locatelli received his first start of the season on 16 October at Chievo, taking over the deep-lying playmaker role in midfield vacated by Montolivo, who suffered a long-term injury over the international break. On 22 October, Locatelli scored with his second ever Serie A shot on target, the only goal in a rival match against Juventus, a strike with the outside of his right foot that hit the underside of the crossbar, and rifled past keeper Gianluigi Buffon.
