Federico Gatti and Juan Cabal are reportedly among the leading candidates to leave Juventus during the current transfer window, with both defenders now considered out of favour at the club.

Juventus are expected to make several changes to their squad this summer as Luciano Spalletti continues his plans to strengthen the team ahead of the new season. Improving the defensive department is believed to be one of the manager’s priorities, despite already having several options available in that area of the squad.

The Bianconeri are aiming to build a stronger and more competitive team, and some current players are no longer viewed as suitable for the club’s long-term plans.

Juventus Ready To Reshape Defence

According to Corriere dello Sport, Gatti and Cabal are among the players Juventus are prepared to sell if acceptable offers arrive during the transfer window.

Gatti remains a popular figure within the dressing room and is highly regarded by his teammates. However, despite the manager rotating the squad on multiple occasions, the defender has still struggled to secure consistent playing time.

His limited involvement has increased speculation surrounding his future at the Allianz Stadium, with Juventus reportedly open to considering his departure if the right proposal is made.

Cabal is also facing uncertainty regarding his position within the squad after falling further down the pecking order following a disappointing display against Galatasaray.

Cabal Facing Uncertain Future

The report stated that Cabal performed poorly during that appearance and has not been selected to play for the team since the match.

As cited by the same source, the defender is now expected to leave Juventus before the transfer window closes, with the club actively listening to offers for both players.

Several members of the squad who previously played important roles at the Allianz Stadium are also believed to be available for transfer as Juventus continue reshaping the group under Spalletti’s leadership.

The club reportedly remain confident that suitable destinations will be found for the players they are willing to offload, provided interested clubs meet their valuation demands before the end of the transfer window.
