Former Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli says Federico Gatti will have to prove he's worthy of a place in preseason.
Many say Gatti deserves a spot at Juve after last season's loan with Frosinone.
But Barzagli said: "I've seen him play a few times, I've spoken about him with some insiders and they spoke very well of him.
“To enter the Juve squad you need character and credibility, we'll see from there if he's ready. If he's a worth it he'll have his space. I hope so because in Italy we are lacking in that role."
The former defender also spoke of Juve's interest in departing PSG winger Angel di Maria.
"Beyond market and age issues, as a player he is an extraordinary player, without a doubt. There is always the desire to be assessed though and how reliable he can be."
