Napoli and Roma Compete to Sign Gatti

The Italian defender Federico Gatti has become a candidate to leave Juventus during the summer transfer window, after his role within the team diminished since Luciano Spalletti took over as head coach. Both Napoli and Roma have expressed interest in signing him.

The "Football Italia" website, citing reports from "Sport Mediaset" and "Calcio Mercato", mentioned that Gatti no longer enjoys the same status he had in previous seasons, as he gradually lost his spot in the starting lineup under Spalletti's leadership.

The likelihood of the Italian defender's departure increases with Juventus's direction to sign a new defender during the summer mercato, which may push Gatti into secondary roles within the team for the upcoming season.

Roma is closely monitoring the player's situation amid the uncertainty surrounding the future of Ivan Ndika, while Napoli is seeking defensive reinforcement with the imminent departure of Juan Jesus.

Despite the growing interest in the player, Juventus does not seem ready to let him go easily, especially since his contract extends until June 2030, giving the club a strong position in any potential negotiations.

The report added that Juventus management had set the player's value at 20 million euros last January, and it is not expected to back down from this evaluation, meaning any club wishing to sign Gatti will be required to meet the Italian club's financial conditions.
