AI summary
Federico Gatti has emerged from a complicated summer determined to prove himself as a Juventus starter rather than accept a peripheral role. According to Tuttosport, the defender rejected a loan opportunity from Porto in early September, believing he has the quality to be a protagonist at a top club.
After an ankle injury during a pre-season friendly and limited minutes in early fixtures, Gatti has shown his value in substitute appearances, notably contributing to Juve's comeback efforts against Milan. His post-match comments—"I never die, I have a strength inside that makes me go beyond every difficulty"—underline his resolve to fight for a starting place.
