Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali had stated that the Gunners had made an official offer for the Italy midfielder
Arsenal are interested in signing Italy star Manuel Locatelli - but have not made a bid for the midfielder.
Locatelli has been one of the breakout stars of Euro 2020, producing some eye-catching displays in the heart of midfield for the Italians.
And his performances have seen him linked with a big money move this summer, with his current club Sassuolo open to letting him leave for the right price.
