Cambiaso confesses January talks with Manchester City but insists ‘happy at Juventus’ | OneFootball

Juventus wing-back Andrea Cambiaso has revealed he spoke to Manchester City in January but insists he is ‘truly happy’ to be playing for the Bianconeri.

Cambiaso was interviewed by the Gazzetta dello Sport and discussed the rumours linking him with the Premier League giants.

When asked about Manchester City, the wing-back said “Let’s say they have almost unlimited financial resources — their ownership is incredibly wealthy — so I’m not surprised they’ve already spent so much on the transfer market. In January, it was nice just to talk, but I’m happy to be here and to wear this shirt. I was never really close anyway — it was nice and flattering to be linked with clubs like that, but I’ll say it again: I’m truly happy to be playing here.”

Cambiaso shines at Juventus

Cambiaso, who signed for Juventus from Genoa in 2022, had an impressive campaign with the Old Lady in the 2024-25 season – scoring twice and assisting four times in 33 appearances in Serie A. The wing-back also made seven appearances in the Champions League and has emerged as one of the Bianconeri’s most exciting players.

The 25-year-old has four years left on his deal, after signing a 5-year-contract last May. After spending the 2022-23 campaign on loan with Bologna, Cambiaso has only missed nine Serie A matches in the last two seasons.

Cambiaso has started both of Juventus’ Club World Cup games so far and will hope to continue contributing positively to head coach Igor Tudor’s set-up.
