AC Milan and Juventus considered a swap deal involving Koni De Winter and Federico Gatti during the January transfer window. Massimiliano Allegri sought to strengthen the squad with a centre-back, and Gatti was a target. Although De Winter improved his performances, a reinforcement was still deemed necessary. Negotiations for the swap stalled when Milan requested cash compensation, which Juventus rejected, leading to the failure of the deal.
"In January, a De Winter-Gatti swap was attempted, but Milan legitimately requested a cash compensation in their favour for going through with the swap. Juve simply said 'no, you have to pay us' and the negotiations stalled there."
"Allegri was a big advocate for Gatti, having worked with him extensively before, indicating a strong interest in reinforcing the defense."
