Report: Napoli want Gatti on loan with option to buy from Juventus
According to reports from Italy, Napoli are pursuing Juventus centre-back Federico Gatti on a loan deal that includes an option to purchase. Gatti, who has been a regular in Juventus's defence, would provide Napoli with defensive reinforcement. The negotiations between the two Serie A giants are reportedly ongoing, though no agreement has been confirmed by either club. Juventus's willingness to let Gatti leave on loan would depend on their own defensive recruitment plans.

For Napoli, acquiring Gatti would strengthen their central defence, an area of need depending on current personnel. For Juventus, allowing Gatti to leave — even on loan — signals either confidence in their defensive depth or a willingness to recoup funds. The loan-with-option structure reduces immediate risk for both clubs. This kind of intra-Serie A transfer directly affects competitive balance in Italy's top flight.
