West Ham United are among the ‘most interested’ in Juventus defender Federico Gatti, whose future is ‘incredibly open’.
This is according to Calciomercato. The Italian website reports that Gatti has fans across Europe and West Ham is one of them.
Sport Witness reported as much while covering a report from Italy. This shows that West Ham have prepared themselves for the 27-year-old. It was believed that the Hammers would need a significant bid to acquire him in the summer transfer window.
West Ham ‘most interested’
Calciomercato Add your opinion to the mix now. They report that Getty’s future is incredibly open because of his fans.
Milan have received solid inquiries for the defender in recent months. West Ham are one of the ‘most interested clubs’ in the defender.
Juventus is also up for sale. They do not consider the player ‘unsellable’. If they receive a significant offer in the summer transfer window, they will sell.
However, their openness to a sale will depend on the defensive balance and the potential arrival of new signings.
Those new signings will have to be secured before his departure is given the green light. But the possibility of exit is on the table and West Ham are in the mix.
West Ham’s defensive problems
Their defense has been a problem area for some time now, despite efforts to improve in various transfer windows over the years.
The current options of Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman, Axel Disassi, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Arra Meyers are certainly not seen as the long-term answer. It wouldn’t be surprising if many of them left in the summer.
But for now the focus will be on avoiding demotion. Given that they are not protected by any means, the transfer business is probably on the backfoot.
It is certain that if the Hammers are relegated to the Championship they will definitely not sign Gattis from Juventus. For now, he’s just a name to keep an eye on.
