Chelsea Are In Talks To Sign This Juventus Talent: Should Alonso Move In For Him? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Chelsea are in talks to sign Juventus talent Andrea Cambiaso. It has been revealed that the Blues have identified the Italian defender as a main target for this summer transfer window.

Cambiaso’s Solid Season In Italian Football

Cambiaso managed to catch the eye at times with his performances on the left side of Juventus’ backline last season. The 26-year-old found the back of the net three times and secured five assists in 47 matches for the Turin outfit in the previous campaign across multiple competitions.

The Italian talent is currently one of the most talented full-backs in Serie A. Hence, the Blues would do well to bring him on board later this year.

His current contract at the Italian club will expire in the summer of 2029. Therefore, Chelsea would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about signing him this off-season.

Should Chelsea Boss Xabi Alonso Move In For Cambiaso?

Cambiaso loves a tackle and can sense the danger well to earn possession back for his team on the defensive end of the field. He doesn’t mind clearing the danger when the opposition are on the front foot and is a tidy passer as well.

The Italian sensation can deliver some inviting crosses into the opponent’s penalty area from the left flank. Cambiaso mainly operates as a left-back but can also serve as a left-sided wide player or as a right-back if asked to do so by his manager. However, the jury is still out on whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if the Blues manage to snap him up in this transfer window.

Cambiaso would bring more quality and depth to Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso’s defence. He is good enough to compete for a regular starting place at the West London club in the coming years.

At 26, Cambiaso has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent fit for Alonso’s needs this summer. Thus, the Blues would be wise to move in for him before the end of this transfer window. However, Alonso has to give him some time to adjust to life in England.
