From Italy: Manchester City rekindle Andrea Cambiaso interest amid Liverpool and Tottenham competition

Manchester City make lucrative contract offer to Josko Gvardiol as Real Madrid threat emerges

The report mentions that figure could fall to around €30-35 million should Juventus fail to secure UEFA Champions League qualification for the 2026-27 campaign.

Report: Multiple clubs make contact for Cambiaso

The report cites information from journalist Mirko Di Natale that Manchester City and five other clubs have made direct contact to ask about Cambiaso’s availability, with the left-back attracting significant attention ahead of the summer transfer window.

Inter had attempted to sign him in January before being turned down and could return with an offer involving Carlos Augusto as part of a swap arrangement.

City, Liverpool and Tottenham represent the Premier League contingent in the chase, with the defender’s versatility and technical quality making him one of the more coveted full-backs in European football over the years.

What is the wider context for City’s interest?

Cambiaso fits a profile City’s director of football Hugo Viana has consistently targeted, a technically accomplished, positionally versatile defender in his mid-twenties with significant room to develop further.

With Josko Gvardiol‘s contract situation still to be fully resolved and cover on the left side of the defence a priority this summer, Cambiaso’s availability is timely.

City face stiff competition, however. Liverpool’s need for a left-back following Andrew Robertson‘s impending departure gives them a particular urgency in the race – and the breadth of interest from clubs of Barcelona and Inter’s calibre means Viana will need to move decisively if City are to emerge as the frontrunners.
