Federico Gatti remains an important player at Juventus despite not receiving as much playing time as a player in his position would typically expect.
Luciano Spalletti values having the centre back in his squad and appreciates his presence in the dressing room. However, the manager does not believe Gatti is ahead of the other defenders who have been starting matches more regularly.
Juventus continue to value Gatti
--------------------------------
Gatti often has to make an impact from the bench or start matches only when the players ahead of him in the pecking order are unavailable due to injuries or other circumstances. Despite his limited opportunities, Juventus continue to consider him a valuable member of their squad.
The Bianconeri are changing the composition of their team and are expected to make further signings, possibly in defence as well. However, questions remain over why they would consider selling Gatti despite their plans to reshape the squad.
According to [Tuttojuve](https://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/juventus-gatti-tocca-prezzo-fissato-scontijuventus-gatti-non-si-tocca-il-prezzo-fissato-e-non-ci-787769), selling Gatti is not a priority for Juventus. The club would demand as much as 25m euros for his transfer and is unwilling to reduce their asking price.
Napoli interested in Gatti
--------------------------
Gatti is [wanted by Napoli](https://talkjuve.com/2026/08/02/napoli-is-closing-in-on-signing-a-juventus-star/), where Max Allegri is interested in a reunion with the defender. However, it remains unclear whether the manager will get his wish, as Napoli could consider the price requested by Juventus too high for a player they want to add to their squad.
The defender is also happy in Turin, although he would like to receive more playing time. His current situation means he must wait for opportunities while continuing to compete with the other defenders at the club.
It remains to be seen whether Gatti will earn a more regular role at Juventus or decide that a move away would be the best option for his career. For now, the Bianconeri continue to value him and have shown no urgency to sell.
