Report Cambiaso targeted by Chelsea after Manchester City bid

Having already been targeted by Manchester City last year, now Chelsea are seemingly interested in Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso.

The versatile figure is primarily a left-back, but can also play on the right, or in more advanced wing-back roles.

He is one of the likely players to be sacrificed this summer after Juventus failed to qualify for the Champions League, and had already been linked with a Premier League move in recent years.

Manchester City had been in advanced negotiations for the player in January 2025 with a deal worth €65m, but the talks fell apart and then an injury further put the issue on the backburner.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea have now set their sights on Cambiaso, especially if Marc Cucurella were to leave Stamford Bridge.

Barcelona were also mentioned for the Italy international, who is 26 years old and has a contract in Turin until June 2029.

The asking price is reported to be around €50m, which would be a big profit considering Juve paid €15.5m to buy him from Genoa in 2022.

They also owe Genoa a 15 per cent cut of the future sale fee as part of that agreement.

This season, Cambiaso contributed three goals and five assists in 47 competitive games for Juventus.
