Serie A side Sassuolo are reportedly not prepared to entertain any offers for £30m rated midfielder Manuel Locatelli.
Manchester City are keeping tabs on the 23-year-old who has developed into one of the best midfielders in the division.
He features prominently on their list of targets, though they also face interest from Juventus and Locatelli's former club AC Milan.
But Sassuolo director Giovanni Carnevali has dismissed the rumours and stated his side 'won't even take into consideration' any offer for their player in January.
