Manchester City are on the cusp of securing the signing of 24-year-old Andrea Cambiaso from Juventus.
The left-back, who rose through Genoa's academy, joined Juventus in a £7.2 million transfer in 2022. After spending a season on loan at Bologna, Cambiaso made a strong impression, becoming a key player for the Turin giant’s last season.
Now, he is poised to make a move to the Premier League champions during the January transfer window.
As reported by Sky Sports Italy, Manchester City and Juventus are close to finalizing a deal worth up to £54.7 million for Cambiaso’s transfer. The report also highlights that City is prepared to offer the Italian a five-year contract, with an option to extend for an additional year.
Juventus, however, are reportedly holding out for a higher fee of £67.3 million, though sources suggest there’s a strong likelihood of both clubs reaching a compromise.
Cambiaso’s recent playing time at Juventus has been limited, starting just one of their last nine matches. Manager Thiago Motta disclosed last weekend that the defender has been struggling with inflammation issues, which may have impacted his availability.
The left-back remains under contract with Juventus until 2029, but a move to Manchester City could soon mark a new chapter in his career.
