Former Juventus midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi is backing Manuel Locatelli for great success in Turin.
The Italy international is undergoing a Juve medical today.
Tacchinardi told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Because he has different characteristics from all the other midfielders in the squad, he is an excellent acquisition from all points of view.
"Compared to Arthur he has more ease of verticalization and is more mobile. Ideal for the football that Max wants to play, more intensity and less ball possession. At Milan, Locatelli felt the pressure, at Juventus he will have to be good at living with it.
"There are shirts that weigh more than others, when he wore that Rossoneri he was a kid and had different responsibilities.You must have ferocious motivations at Juventus, he comes to us as a European champion and must immediately show that he has made the leap in quality."
