Every transfer window the idea of a potential swap deal between AC Milan and a rival comes up, and there is no exception this time.
Reports have emerged in the past couple of days suggesting that Massimiliano Allegri is keen on a reunion with Federico Gatti, a defender that he promoted to the first team when he was in his second stint as Juventus head coach.

Possible swap on the cards?
According to La Repubblica, Allegri does indeed want Gatti at Milan. Juventus, in exchange, will ask the Rossoneri for the regista Luciano Spalletti wants: Samuele Ricci.
Ricci arrived last summer from Torino for €25m, and is highly sought after by the Bianconeri. A Gatti-Ricci swap between Milan and Juve could become the surprise of the winter, if an agreement on their respective valuations can be reached.
The alternatives for the Rossoneri are Milan Skriniar and Eric Dier, but both are complicated ideas for various reasons, which is why Sergio Ramos has not yet been crossed off the list of candidates.
Juve meanwhile want Davide Frattesi but Inter are asking for €35m to sell him, which is why the swap could gain ground, to fix a problem for each side without requiring a large cash outlay.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopppeeeeeeee
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lmao Repubblica isn’t usually this unhinged
Yes, let’s trade a player for a player who’s in a lower league. I’m all in.
Maybe I’m wrong, but when I googled him he was playing in Serie B.
Gatti plays for Juventus and is a regular in the Azzurri.
🤦♂️
Juve have less healthy defenders than Milan. No way they trade Gatti
Tare will take any opportunity to make the team worse
Ricci + cash for Thuram.
Thuram is good, but I’d rather Kone from Roma.
Kone is more defensive.
This Milan needs Thuram more than Kone
Kone is rubbish thuram is class player
Give them RLC or Estupiano for Gatti
He’s trash. Ricci is a solid investment. I am all for having more Italian players on the team but THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS HAPPENING LOL.
Ricci for Thuram
Ricci and Jashari both behind Modric does not make sense we can all agree. I just don’t know that Gatti for Ricci is worth it.
how long do you want modirc to play for? and also it really does make sense when u see the roles he has excelled in real madrid.
The management shouldn’t make that mistake to swap ﹰRicci for ﹰGatti because such mistake would be very costly for the Milan team.
Ricci is a big time investment and instead of swapping ﹰRicci for ﹰGatti, it would be better that we purchase Gatti for €30m at least that would be preferable
If they actually do this then those responsible for it deserves to dangle in a rope and if there is any justice in this world then some fans will make it happen.
I doubt Milan will do this though but who the hell knows with these tossers at the helm of the club.
Probably not a deal that will be done, but hardly surprising that Ricci is being discussed/linked, considering he hasn’t played well and seems to have fallen to the very bottom of Allegris midfield pecking order.

Bro, Lloyd Kelly plays over Gatti! No way we make this deal. Ricci was everyone’s target for two seasons. Our biggest problem last season was midfield depth, now we have it.
Agree.
However we played a game of self inflicted ‘wack a mole’.
Fixed midfield. But sold/loaned all the depth in defence and attack.
🤦♂️
I don’t rate ricci I don’t rate Gatti either Gatti isn’t upgrade to our defense also we can sell ricci if we get good sum he isn’t that good
Enough with the selling without giving player time to develop. It’s BS business, if management does go through it. We can kiss the title race goodbye
Would love to have Kalulu back. You know … A CB who plays RB well? Maybe had a hand in winning the Scudetto?
I wouldn’t trade Ricci for him. But if they want RLC or Pobega (currently on loan) that would be grand.
If this goes on, I think Milan has the most useless management in SerieA history. Foolish
Why Milan are doing all this is it this management are serious for this team oh no this is nonsense
Both are rubbish
Just because someone writes, doesn’t mean it’s true.
