Manuel Locatelli (born 8 January 1998) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Sassuolo and the Italy national team.

Locatelli is primarily a deep-lying playmaker operating in front of the team's defense, in a role similar to that of Andrea Pirlo. Although not his preferred position, he can also play in 4–3–3 formation as a wing-leaning central midfielder, alternatively known as mezzala. He possesses good vision, passing, ball control, dribbling, as well as a powerful and accurate shot from long range. His reading of the game and ball-winning abilities were described as sufficient for a defensive midfielder.<\/P>","32E266777F4D5C3EAAE5984CDAE82227":"US Sassuolo Calcio","0DC344593C67F298":"439232","6F2A70628678CF42F2F15CA1EF3BF952":"\u20ac30.00M","826BE2C466376227EC096659909FEBC6":"US Sassuolo Calcio,Juventus FC[on loan],AC Milan,US Sassuolo Calcio[on loan],AC Milan(U19),AC Milan Youth,Atalanta Youth","55115EEDFFE75225FD0E1787F70FC7CB":"2023-7-1","65809D335DC33AB4":"2","2E0C5ADB6636D43E":"185cm","53F6A06F211D096A":"Juventus FC","7850BFBCDDAACDE9":"Manuel Locatelli","156AB99B762676230C18DFFD85A3FAED":"
