The Future of Porto-Linked Juventus Man Still Uncertain

Federico Gatti remains uncertain about his future with Juventus despite the Italian club successfully resisting a late bid from Porto. The market is still open, but the deadline for submitting UEFA Champions League lists has passed. According to Alfredo Pedullà, Juventus faced more difficulties with the formula and figures than with the idea of letting go of the defender.

The center-back's position on leaving the team is open, as he has fallen down the hierarchy since Jhon Lucumi joined the squad. Gatti might still opt to move to other destinations, even if they are in the UAE, to secure consistent playing time. While Al-Sadd has managed to sign Lazio's Alessio Romagnoli, the Italian center-back has already undergone medicals with the UAE side.

Previously, Lazio had been attempting to sign Gatti for a year, ultimately replacing him and Mario Gila with Danilho Doekhi and Josip Sutalo. Juventus has strengthened their defense by replacing Gatti and Gila with these two players. However, it is worth considering Gatti's value and the team's injury struggles, particularly with Gleison Bremer.

They boast a more reliable fullback in Zeki Celik, so Pierre Kalulu could potentially take on a more prominent role as a center-back, provided a suitable offer is made.
