Already in the sights of Manchester City a year and a half ago, the blue winger continues to be of interest to the English big names and could be sacrificed to make up for the lack of revenue from the Champions League
London calling. After Manchester (City side), the glamorous London of Chelsea. The Premier League is always the temptation for Andrea Cambiaso, who, a year and a half after that interest from Guardiola’s then team which never materialised, is back in the sights of a big English team. And this time, in a Juve struggling with the need to make one more transfer than expected due to the failure to qualify for the Champions League, the sacrifice of the blue winger is not a solution to be excluded.
Cambiaso, the city and a season of chiaroscuro
—
It was January 2025 when Pep Guardiola’s passion for the Ligurian born in 2000 made Manchester City consider offering up to 65 million to the Bianconeri for him, but contingent situations (injuries in other departments) and strategic choices did not allow the operation to take off. From that moment on, despite the arrival on the Juventus bench of a great admirer of his like Spalletti, Cambiaso was no longer able to repeat the great performances that Thiago Motta had shown in the first months of management. Indeed, the movements of a “3D” footballer, as defined by the former national coach, capable of creating spaces with his continuous vertical and horizontal movements across the pitch, were counterbalanced by technical and reading errors, which cost the Bianconeri bloody points from a Champions League perspective. Also for this reason, the winger is no longer considered untransferable, even more so if we consider that his low balance sheet residual would guarantee a very large capital gain in the event of a transfer of between 40 and 50 million.

Cambiaso’s qualities, however, remain indisputable for many coaches and, so, a month ago, the Barcelona survey arrived, followed by that of Como, struggling with the need to include Italian footballers in the squad to comply with the rules for compiling the UEFA lists. Now, here is the interest of Chelsea, on whose bench sits Xabi Alonso who already wanted the blue winger last year at Real Madrid. Furthermore, the Blues are grappling with doubts about the future of Cucurella, who is being followed by City and all the big Spanish teams, and, in the event of a sale, the Juventus player would represent the ideal replacement. London calling, in short: will Cambiaso (and Juve) respond this time?
