Juventus have secured their defender, Federico Gatti, with a new contract lasting until June 2030. This deal comes after months of talks and keeps Gatti away from interested Premier League clubs.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Gatti, 26, has extended his Juventus contract until 2030, with an option for an extra year. He’ll earn over €2 million per season. Gatti joined Juventus in 2022 and quickly became important to the team, even serving as stand-in captain. Despite interest from clubs like Everton, Nottingham Forest, and West Ham, Gatti chose to stay in Turin. This season, he has played 40 times, scored once, and made two assists, despite some injuries.
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR JUVENTUS
Gatti’s new deal shows Juventus’ intent to keep stability and reward loyal players. The team, third in Serie A, is aiming for Champions League qualification. Gatti’s steady presence has been critical, providing leadership and a strong defensive unit. His role has helped Juventus manage both domestic and European competitions. His commitment makes him a big part of the team’s future plans.
LOOKING AHEAD
Juventus play AS Roma next, with both teams fighting for a top-three finish. Juventus currently sit third, two points ahead of Bologna, but only one point separates them from Roma. This fixture is key in the race for Champions League spots. With Gatti’s future settled, Juventus aim to finish the season strongly. The club’s focus on Gatti indicates their intention to build a competitive team for the years ahead.
