Cambiaso makes Juventus transfer admission amid Milan and Man City links | OneFootball

Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso insists he ‘never asked’ to leave the Bianconeri despite Milan and Manchester City transfer speculation: ‘I feel everyone’s trust.’

Juventus defender Cambiaso insists he doesn’t want to leave the Allianz Stadium.

The Italian full-back is under contract until 2029 and has recently been linked with a move to Milan.

Gazzetta dello Sport asked the 25-year-old whether he had recently spoken to the Rossoneri or his former boss Massimiliano Allegri.

“I haven’t received any call, maybe my agents have,” said Cambiaso.

“The only certain thing in life is death, but I’m happy here. I haven’t spoken to Tudor, but I know the club and the coach hold me in high regard. I feel everyone’s trust. I’m happy in Turin and I’ve never asked to leave.”

Cambiaso was reported to be a big Manchester City transfer target in January, but insisted he had never spoken to Pep Guardiola either.

Juventus coach Igor Tudor has extended his contract to 2027, and Cambiaso revealed that the team is glad the Croat will remain in charge for the long term.

“Absolutely. When the coach arrived, the goal was to qualify for the Champions League, so he fully deserved to be confirmed. He made a great impression on us,” the defender said.

“He helped us through a tricky moment when there was no time for experiments. We just had to achieve our objective, so he focused a lot on the mental aspect and did an excellent job. Now things will be different. We’ll have a preseason with him and will be able to work more on tactics. We’ve already had a taste of it. We’re all very happy to continue with him.”

Tudor replaced Thiago Motta in March. What was the issue with the previous Juventus coach?

“I don’t know. Last August, I would have never guessed it would end like this,” admitted Cambiaso.

“I’m sorry because I know him well. I had him at Bologna, and I think he’s a great coach. Something didn’t click, and the results showed that.”

Who is the Juventus technical leader?

“There are many high-level players, but the future belongs to Yildiz. He has the qualities to become a world-class talent.”

The Bianconeri will make their Club World Cup debut against Al-Ain on June 18 (June 19 in Europe). What do they expect from this competition?

“We don’t even know ourselves because it’s the first time,” said Cambiaso.

“It will be a surprise, but just being here for the first time is great. We’re all definitely tired, but playing is our job, and it’s a beautiful thing.”

Lastly, the Juventus defender spoke about Gennaro Gattuso’s appointment as Italy’s head coach.

“I’m really pleased. Let’s hope we can return to the USA with the Italian national team next summer.”
