Financial constraints in Turin mean a straight cash deal could be complicated, but Juventus are reportedly exploring creative solutions. Speculation suggests the Italian side could even offer Locatelli in a swap deal to sweeten the negotiations, though it remains to be seen if Marseille would be willing to entertain such an exchange in the middle of a competitive season.
For Greenwood, the potential departure of Hojbjerg would mean losing a reliable service provider and a senior figure who has helped shield the attacking unit. As the winter window draws nearer, the English forward will be hoping his club can resist the allure of the Old Lady and keep the core of their thriving team together.
This season, the 30-year-old registered two Ligue 1 goals before getting his first assist for Greenwood last week. A key figure in De Zerbi's team, he has started 12 of his 14 appearances in the French top-flight and started five of the six games in which he has featured in the Champions League so far.
