Napoli have been linked with a move for Federico Gatti in this transfer window as they look to bolster their squad, and Juventus are open to his departure. Gatti is considered a key dressing room influence at Juve, and even when he does not play, he has an important role behind the scenes at the Allianz Stadium.
Luciano Spalletti does not believe Gatti is good enough to be a starter in his team, and the manager feels he can do without him. As a result, Juventus are prepared to allow the defender to leave the club this summer, despite his importance within the dressing room.
Gatti Wants To Stay At Juventus
Gatti wants to stay and fight for his place, but Juventus will listen to offers. He could move away from Serie A before the transfer window closes, with interest from Marseille and Hull City, according to Tuttosport.
Hull have just been promoted back to the Premier League and want to remain in the competition, while Marseille are looking to rebuild their squad as they begin a new period of transition. Both clubs could offer Gatti a different opportunity should he decide that leaving Juventus is the right option.
Juventus Ready To Let Gatti Decide
Gatti has always wanted to stay at Juventus, so it would not be a surprise if he decides to reject both approaches and remain in Turin. His desire to continue fighting for his place could ultimately prove decisive if neither offer convinces him to leave.
However, Juventus appear prepared to give the defender the freedom to decide his future. While Spalletti does not consider him a starter, Gatti remains an important presence within the squad, meaning his departure would still represent a significant change.
For now, the defender’s preference is to remain at Juventus and compete for opportunities. The club will listen to offers before the window closes, but it will probably allow Gatti to determine whether he wants to accept a new challenge or continue his career in Turin.
