Sky: Milan forced to look elsewhere as Juventus have ‘no intention’ of parting with Gatti

As we approach the January mercato, it seems AC Milan will have to rethink their transfer strategy, with a move for Federico Gatti looking impossible.

There have been several names thrown into the mix regarding defenders that could arrive in the next month. Some have been permanent solutions, whilst others have been loan operations. Whichever way you look at it, a number of options are on the table.

However, there are also a few cases where signings are unrealistic or even impossible, and the latest case of this has occurred.

No chance… unless

As Sky reports, via Tribuna, this is the case for Gatti and Milan’s pursuit of him. The Italian has been one of the favoured choices to arrive next month, but it seems that it will not occur.

A deal would be extremely complicated, largely because Juventus have ‘no intention’ of letting him go in the middle of the season, considering they would also need a replacement as a result. However, it would not be impossible.

If the Italian made a push to leave, a deal could happen. But with him happy in Turin, it seems unlikely that any movement will be made at this moment. A track already closed, as is being reported.
