According to reports coming out of Italy, it seems that Manchester City is on the verge of acquiring the talented left-back Andrea Cambiaso from Juventus. The 24-year-old has quite an impressive background, having come through Genoa's academy before joining Juve in 2022 for a whopping €8.5 million. After spending a season on loan at Bologna, Cambiaso quickly proved his worth and became a regular player for Juve during the last season.
But it seems that a new chapter is about to begin for Cambiaso, as he is now on the brink of joining Manchester City. Sky Sports Italy has reported that the two clubs are close to reaching an agreement for a deal worth up to €65 million. This would make Cambiaso one of the most expensive defenders in the world. City is also ready to offer the talented player a five-year contract, with the option of a sixth year included.
However, Juve is said to be holding out for an €80 million fee. But according to the reports, there is a good chance that a compromise will be reached between the two clubs. It seems that both sides are eager to make this deal happen, and it's only a matter of time before Cambiaso officially becomes a part of Manchester City.
It's no surprise that City is willing to invest such a large sum of money in Cambiaso. He has been one of Juve's top performers this season, making 13 appearances for the Italian national team and even playing in three games during Euro 2024 last summer. Despite starting only one of Juve's last nine matches, Cambiaso has been dealing with inflammation issues, which were revealed by Thiago Motta, the team's manager.
Motta was full of praise for Cambiaso, acknowledging his dedication to the team despite the challenges he has been facing. He expressed his hope that Cambiaso will recover soon and continue to contribute to the team's success. The defender signed a contract extension with Juve last May, which will keep him tied to the Italian club until 2029. But it seems that a new chapter is about to begin for Cambiaso, and fans can't wait to see what he will bring to Manchester City's already impressive roster.
