Reports from Italy suggest Manchester City are on the verge of completing a high-profile transfer for Juventus’ versatile full-back Andrea Cambiaso. The English champions have made a decisive move for the Italian international, signalling their intent to bolster their defensive options.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Premier League giants are preparing a substantial offer in the region of €60-65 million for Cambiaso. While Juventus may attempt to negotiate a higher fee, all indications suggest that the deal is likely to be concluded in the near future.
Cambiaso’s potential move to the Etihad Stadium comes with an attractive personal package. The 24-year-old is set to be offered a five-year contract with an option for a sixth year, underlining City’s long-term commitment to the player.
This transfer would mark a significant step in Cambiaso’s career, moving from Serie A to the highly competitive Premier League. His versatility, able to play on either flank and even in midfield, makes him an ideal fit for Pep Guardiola’s tactical system.
The impending departure of Kyle Walker has likely accelerated City’s pursuit of Cambiaso, with the club keen to maintain depth and quality in their defensive ranks.
