We most likely rejected it because it was a crap offer tbh.
On Locatelli, I feel disappointed in him if he's initiating the move. He's got a great chance to make the starting spot his this coming season, as Biglia's coming off a poor season and there's not a lot of evidence we'll suddenly see big improvement and even if Bakayoko comes, he doesn't have the skills as a regista, he'll be a DM in the back. Given we've lost Bonucci, we'll be lacking players to build up from the back, which Locatelli can do. Frankly, as long as he shows his technical qualities, focuses on avoiding stupid mistakes and works hard, he's got a great shout of earning the starting spot. Plus, the club appears to be working towards stability and the presence of Leo and Maldini alone is enough to show it's a serious project.
Anyway, if he goes we should include a buy back clause. He's young and talented and has the potential to return to form part of the spine of the side we're building, similar to Costacurta and Albertini in the past, albeit those were loans.
