The Future of Porto-Linked Juventus Man Still Uncertain
Federico Gatti has been in limbo throughout the summer, and his future continues to be uncertain, even though Juventus repelled a late attempt to lure him by Porto. The market is still open in such a country, but the deadline to submit the UEFA Champions League lists is the same and has lapsed.
According to Alfredo Pedullà , the Bianconeri had more issues with the formula and the figures rather than with the notion of parting ways with the defender altogether. The center-back is open to moving, as he has further tumbled down the pecking order following the acquisition of Jhon Lucumi .

Gatti could still leave Juventus to head to places where there's still time to do business. He could even accept a transfer to the UAE to resume playing consistently.
One destination has likely fallen through, as Al-Sadd have finally been able to strike a deal with Lazio and Alessio Romagnoli. The Italian center-back has flown in with the medicals. They had been trying to sign him for a year. The Biancocelesti had already replaced him and Mario Gila with Danilho Doekhi and Josip Sutalo.
Our Take on Juventus and Gatti
While he's not at the same level as their other contributors, perhaps he deserves a little more consideration, and they should manage Gleison Bremer more carefully, given his injury history. They have a better fullback, Zeki Celik, than in the past, so they could use Pierre Kalulu as a center-back more frequently if they wished to, but the offer would have to be really worthwhile to lose a piece without being able to substitute for it.
