Juventus aren’t pressed to sell Federico Gatti this January window, and subsequently, AC Milan will have to come up with an intriguing proposal to catch their attention.
The centre-back pursuit has been getting a lot of coverage in recent days and rightly so, as it needs to be a huge priority for Milan. They are severely lacking depth at the back and without a reinforcement, they could struggle to even make the top four.
In recent days, Federico Gatti has emerged as a new candidate for the defence, with Massimiliano Allegri knowing the player very well from his time at Juventus. However, as a loan offer was rejected by the Bianconeri, the Rossoneri need to come up with something better.
Players of interest
According to TuttoJuve’s Mirko Di Natale, who is quite reputable when it comes to Juventus, Milan will have to present a much better offer for Gatti. Currently, the Bianconeri absolutely don’t need to part ways with the defender and will only do so if the solution works well for them.
It’s pretty easy to see that a dry loan, potentially with an option to buy, wouldn’t be that. Instead, since the Rossoneri don’t have any money to come with, a player that interests Juve would have to be included. Koni De Winter could be one, as the journalist points out.
However, despite the poor performances of the Belgian, giving him up to get Gatti would sort of be shooting yourself in the foot. After all, Milan need to increase the depth at the back – both quality-wise and numerically – so swapping one defender for another wouldn’t be ideal.
