On May 14th, Locatelli celebrated his starting line-up debut in the 3-1 defeat against AS Roma . In the 2016/2017 season , Locatelli developed into a regular regular player under the new coach Vincenzo Montella and thus played a large part in winning the Italian Supercup against Juventus Turin and in qualifying for the UEFA Europa League .
