Manchester City set for official 65m Cambiaso bid to Juventus | OneFootball

Manchester City are expected to make a formal offer to Juventus for Andrea Cambiaso over the next 48 hours, said to be worth circa €65m.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio and pundit Fabrizio Romano, the negotiations are set to take the next step and a written proposal could arrive over the weekend.

Juve seem adamant they do not want to sell the full-back mid-season, so would prefer to wait until July to make the transfer.

However, if the offer does get close to the €70-80m asking price, then they can be open to a potential exit.

Cambiaso turns 25 next month and had 13 senior caps with Italy, in which he scored two goals.

A product of the Genoa youth academy, he was purchased by Juventus for €13.3m in the summer of 2022, then went on loan to Bologna before making his mark in Turin.

Primarily a left-back, Cambiaso can also play on the right, while he is happy to move up into more advanced wing-back roles too.

So far this season, he has made 25 competitive appearances with two goals and two assists.

It is perhaps notable that Juventus have just signed Alberto Costa from Vitoria Guimaraes for €13.8m, as he too can play at left-back or right-back.
