Our opinion on the situation of Federico Gatti
The 27-year-old has reached his prime and Juve want to make the most of his sale.
Due to Federico Gatti's technical shortcomings, he is unlikely to reach any other level. Despite this, he remains a very versatile defender who can operate in a variety of formations.
He has also developed as a leader, which is one of the reasons he has stayed at the Bianconeri for so long.
