"Loftus-Cheek meanwhile would have been keen on reuniting with Maurizio Sarri but did not approve of joining Lazio. He wants to play more, Allegri appreciates him, but the midfield is far too crowded and there aren't many opportunities. The former Chelsea man desperately wants to go to the World Cup. Between now and June, he must convince Tuchel to bring him to the United States. It's no easy task, and at Juve there is a better chance of getting a starting spot."
"Turning 28 on June 24, he's returning from the meniscus injury that forced him to undergo surgery in early December. Next week, he'll train with the team, focusing on the trip to Cagliari. His central role in the Bianconeri's plan isn't there any more. Allegri 'desperately needs Gatti' to strengthen his defence and would welcome him back with open arms after spending part of his second spell at Juventus alongside Federico. Gatti also wants to go to the World Cup, presuming Italy qualify."
Juventus has identified a need for a versatile central midfielder and is exploring options to strengthen the squad. A proposed exchange would send Ruben Loftus-Cheek to Juventus and Federico Gatti to AC Milan on loan until the end of the season. Spalletti admires Loftus-Cheek and views Juventus as offering better chances for a starting role and World Cup selection. Loftus-Cheek wants more playing time and declined a move to Lazio. Gatti, turning 28 in June, is returning from meniscus surgery, will rejoin training next week, and could bolster Milan's defense if available.
