Juventus has identified Federico Gatti’s replacement
Federico Gatti appears destined to leave Juventus eventually, and that could happen in the summer, with the Bianconeri already lining up a potential replacement for him.
Gatti has been a loyal servant to Juventus for several seasons as the men in black and white have gone through several new defensive partnerships. He has also produced some important performances for the club during his time there.
Even in the current campaign, Gatti has played a key role in Juventus’ form so far. However, he could be sold at the end of the season, while a worthwhile offer in January could also convince the Bianconeri to part ways with him.
Juventus Open to Gatti Sale
The Bianconeri view Gatti as an ideal player who can make their team stronger than it is at the moment. However, he is not considered indispensable, meaning the club are open to the possibility of selling him.
If Gatti does leave, Juventus already appear to have a potential replacement in mind. The club could look towards AC Milan for a defender who may become available at the end of the campaign.
That option would be Fikayo Tomori, with Calciomercato reporting that Juventus could turn to the Englishman if they decide to sell Gatti. Tomori is set to leave AC Milan for free at the end of the campaign.
Tomori Could Remain in Serie A
Tomori is not considered one of the important players in the Milan team this season, and the defender expects to leave as a free agent. The report states that Juventus want to sign him if the opportunity becomes available.
The defender’s experience could make him an attractive option for Juventus if Gatti departs. However, Tomori is expected to have several suitors once he becomes available as a free agent.
If Tomori wants to remain in Serie A, Juventus could offer him the opportunity to continue playing in the division. His situation at AC Milan means his future could become an important factor in Juventus’ plans for their defence.
With Gatti potentially leaving and Tomori expected to become available for free, Juventus could have an opportunity to reshape their defensive options.
