The Bianconeri value the defender at €25m as Spalletti’s system puts his role at risk
Federico Gatti is no longer considered untouchable at Juventus. Despite renewing his contract last summer until 2030, the Bianconeri are now willing to listen to offers for the Italian defender if the right proposal arrives — especially from the Premier League.
The club’s valuation stands at around €25 million, a figure that effectively rules out Italian suitors but remains well within reach for English clubs, who have been monitoring Gatti since last summer.
A changing role under Spalletti
After climbing the football ladder from amateur leagues to Serie A, Federico Gatti had earned a starting role through consistency and sacrifice. However, the landscape has shifted.
With Luciano Spalletti switching Juventus to a 4-2-3-1, Gatti’s status has become less central:
- Bremer is considered untouchable and plays on the right side of defense
- Pierre Kalulu is a strong alternative in central defense
- Juventus are actively searching for a left-footed centre-back to rotate with Kelly
As a result, Gatti risks fighting for limited minutes alongside Rugani once fully fit again.
Premier League interest grows
Unlike Rugani — now comfortable in a backup role — Gatti still harbors ambitions of being a regular starter. That desire aligns with interest from Premier League clubs, who see him as a physically strong, tactically reliable defender entering his prime.
A move abroad could also allow Gatti to significantly improve his salary, even after his recent contract extension.
World Cup ambitions at stake
Beyond club football, the situation also carries implications for Gatti’s international future. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, regular playing time is essential if he hopes to remain in contention for Italy.
For now, Juventus are not actively pushing him out — but the message is clear: with the right offer, Gatti can leave. A scenario that seemed unthinkable just a few months ago is now firmly on the table.
