Andrea Cambiaso attracting renewed Manchester City interest as Hugo Viana maps summer transfer plans | OneFootball

Manchester City are among a trio of European heavyweights monitoring the progress of Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso, as per a new report.

The 26-year-old, who has established himself as one of the most technically gifted full-backs in Serie A in recent seasons, has become a key component of the Juventus setup.

His tactical intelligence and unique ability to operate effectively on either flank, as well as drifting into central midfield roles, have caught the eye of Pep Guardiola and City’s scouting network.

According to a report by Caught Offside, Juventus are now prepared to entertain offers in the region of £50 million for the Italy international.

While the Turin giants have previously been reluctant to lose a player of Cambiaso’s strategic importance, it is understood that they could be tempted into a sale should their valuation be met in full.

The interest comes at a pivotal moment for Manchester City, who find themselves firmly in the running for a historic quadruple this season. Despite the hunt for silverware on four fronts, director of football Hugo Viana is already looking toward the future as part of his ongoing squad rebuild.

Viana’s appointment has signaled a shift in City’s recruitment strategy, with a clear focus on long-term sustainability in key positions. One such area is the right-back slot – and while Matheus Nunes has filled in admirably as a makeshift option this term, there is a growing internal consensus that the Portugal international is not a permanent solution in that role.

For City, the pursuit of Cambiaso aligns with the club’s objective to find a natural, high-energy operator capable of interpreting Guardiola’s complex tactical demands.

Following last summer’s departure of Kyle Walker to Burnley, the need for a specialist who can provide both recovery pace and technical security has become a priority for the recruitment team.

Recent developments suggest that City officials have been keeping close tabs on the player’s development in Italy, where his composure in possession is seen as a perfect fit for a side that dominates the ball.

However, City are not alone in their admiration, with Premier League rivals Liverpool and Spanish giants Real Madrid also credited with a strong interest.

Whether Etihad Stadium officials view the £50 million figure as a fair reflection of his value remains to be seen, but as Viana continues to reshape the squad, Cambiaso is certainly a name that looks set to dominate the headlines as the summer transfer window approaches.
