Federico Gatti is one of the players Napoli wants to add to their squad this summer, as Max Allegri is eyeing a reunion with the defender after they worked together at Juventus.
He was one of Juve’s key men under Allegri, but Luciano Spalletti does not fancy him, and if the defender leaves, Juve can sign a more suitable option for the manager.
Gatti’s future remains uncertain
Under the current coach, Gatti only plays when other options are unavailable, and Juventus would not miss him if he leaves the group in this window. His situation has made him one of the players the club could consider selling.
According to Calciomercato, he is one of the players Napoli wishes to add to their squad this summer, and the defender could also be open to the move in this window. A change of environment could give him an opportunity for more regular football.
Napoli supporters question the move
However, Napoli fans are not excited about seeing him in their colours, and they are now opposed to his arrival because they consider him a player who is not good enough for their team.
The men at the Allianz Stadium will do their best to ensure he leaves, but Napoli would have to ignore the concerns of their supporters if they decide to complete a move for the defender.
Juventus would find a replacement immediately, but they will still demand a decent fee because Gatti is a fine and committed defender who knows how to deliver strong performances.
The Bianconeri believe they can benefit from his departure while also securing the funds needed to bring in another defender who better suits the current manager’s plans and helps maintain the strength of their squad during the season ahead.
