For the wing, Juve has identified the Genoa player who has already made a triple jump from the fourth series up to A. He should replace Luca Pellegrini, destined to pack his bags
Federico Gatti does not fight, with his vertical ascent from the Promotion to the National team. But even Andrea Cambiaso, despite being only 22 years old on his identity card, can already showcase a substantial apprenticeship and a triple jump from Serie D to the top league. The left-back was identified by Juve as a solution for the wing, for the immediate future and for the future. Immediately, he would take the place of Luca Pellegrini, (destined for departure) and compete for a starting shirt with Alex Sandro, no longer so unassailable in the role. In the future, he could become master of the lane, given that the Brazilian is about to expire his contract in June 2023 and especially if he were to confirm the rise in performance shown in recent years. Genoa asks for 10 million, despite the contract expiring in just a year, taking advantage of the fierce competition on the defender: there are also Inter, Atalanta and Bologna. Juventus, which has already initiated contacts not only with the player’s agent but also with the rossoblù sports manager Spors, plans to reduce the economic outlay by inserting one between the midfielder Ranocchia and the defender Dragusin in the negotiation.
Cambiaso is waiting for news on the outcome of the negotiation, aware that his big moment has already arrived. Raised in the youth sector of Genoa, ball boy at Ferraris, and a fan of the Griffin due to the “imposition” of a particularly passionate grandfather, Andrea at 17 began touring the fields of Liguria on loan: first experience and promotion to Albissola in Serie D , then another season in D at Savona, before moving to C at Alessandria, where he stops with a knee injury. The following year he starts again from Empoli in Serie B where he doesn’t play much, but gets noticed by the management, who try to redeem him with an offer of 1.5 million. The coup almost works, but Ballardini notices him in retirement and makes it clear that he can be useful to Genoa, and turn into a better deal. That’s how it went. Now Juve are hoping to add another element, young and hungry, to their Italian core.
