Locatelli signs for Mantova
Tuesday 22 July, 2008

Serie B side Mantova have pulled off a transfer coup by securing the signature of former Inter target Tomas Locatelli.

The former Milan attacking midfielder had been strongly tipped to join Inter this summer.

Bologna were also said to be keeping a close eye on the Siena star, who made 111 appearances for the Felsinei between 2002 and 2005, but the 32-year-old has surprisingly decided to drop out of Serie A.

Locatelli will undergo a medical at Mantova’s Stadio Danilo Martelli tomorrow afternoon and should be formally unveiled in the evening.

The move will be a free transfer because Locatelli’s contract at the Montepaschi Arena expired at the end of June.

The Bergamo native has two Azzurri caps, making his debut in November 1999 but he hasn’t featured in La Nazionale’s squad in recent years.
