Man City have ‘concrete interest’ in Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso

• The Italy international is view as a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker
• City price out of a move for Cambiaso in January

Manchester City have reportedly line up a bid in the region of €65m (£54.7m) for Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso.

The reigning Premier League champions have unusually active in the winter transfer window. January has typically been a period used by City to โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที snap up young gems, often from South America. Before immediately sending them out on loan. Not since the arrival of Aymeric Laporte in 2018 has a winter addition instantly imbedded into City first team.

Desperate times have called for drastic action. Pep Guardiola fallen giants are on the back foot domestically and on the continent. After a mini-post-Christmas revival, City’s newfound fragility exposed itself once again as they gave up two goals in the final eight minutes of a 2-2 draw away to Brentford on Tuesday.

This crisis has prompted the club to plough into unknown transfer market territory. City have already lined up three deals worth considerably more than a combined £100m this month, with Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush expected to follow the centre-back duo of Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis through the door at the Etihad.

But the spending spree does not stop there.

City are readying an initial offer of €60-65m (£50-55m) for Juventus’ versatile defender Andrea Cambiaso.

The Serie A giants, however, will supposedly demand as much as €80m (£67m) if the Italy international is to leave Turin in January.

That lofty figure – which is more than City expecte to pay for Khusanov. Reis combine to scare away any interest in a mid-season switch and lower next summer.
