West Ham United find themselves embroiled in a three-way battle for Juventus centre-back Federico Gatti, according to Tuttosport.
The 26-year-old Italian enjoyed a breakout season with Juventus in 2023-24, making 36 appearances across all competitions.
Despite his significant playing time, Gatti’s future with the Old Lady is uncertain.
West Ham are according to the Tuttosport report determined to land Gatti, but face stiff competition from fellow Premier League clubs Newcastle United and Everton. The report also suggests Gatti is a highly sought-after defender in England, with his three caps for Italy further enhancing his appeal.
A summer transfer to the Premier League seems like a strong possibility for Gatti, who has amassed 63 appearances for Juventus since joining in 2022.
While Gatti’s future is unclear, a move to the Premier League appears increasingly likely
Milankovic from Florentina for West Ham
Definitely Milenkovic would be a top purchase.
One defender we should definately be looking at is Fiorentina’s 26 year old Milenkovic, Forest have just made a bid of £13m which is far to low with his experience. With Kilman they would make a formidable partnership, I just hope someeone at the club recognises his qualities and makes an enquiry about his availability because he’s a one man brick wall!
