Federico Gatti is once again at the centre of transfer talk linking Juventus and Napoli. In recent days there have been reports of a possible player swap between the two Italian rivals, but according to the latest information such a scenario is currently far from materialising.
The experienced Juventus centre-back remains a Napoli target, with the club monitoring his situation in Turin for some time. For now, however, there are no concrete negotiations that would lead to a swap deal.
Napoli still tracking Gatti
Napoli's interest in Federico Gatti is nothing new. The club from Naples has been looking to strengthen its defence for a while, and the Italian international remains one of the names on their wish list.
Juventus, though, show no intention of letting him go easily, especially after he extended his contract with the club.
A swap is not a priority for Juventus
Some Italian outlets have speculated about a possible exchange in which Gatti would be included as part of a deal for another Napoli player.
According to the latest information, however, Juventus are not seriously considering that option at the moment. The club is carefully assessing the market, but for now there is no confirmation that swap talks have gone beyond initial speculation.
What comes next?
Plenty of conversations between Italian clubs are expected before the end of the transfer window, but at this moment Federico Gatti's future remains tied to Juventus.
If Napoli want to push forward, they will have to meet the financial demands set by the Turin club, while a swap remains just one of the options being discussed in the media.
