Sources: Manchester City learn Juventus' Andrea Cambiaso asking price and now ready to submit bid
Today at 06:45 AM
TBR Football understands that Manchester City are expected to make a bid for Juventus left-back Andrea Cambiaso before the transfer window closes.
Manchester City are continuing to revitalise Pep Guardiola’s squad having already signed three players this month taking their spending to £120 million.
Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis are the trio of signings they have already made and the Premier League champions have started work on a deal for Cambiaso.
TBR Football revealed earlier this month that City had spoken with Juve about Cambiaso and they are now ready to make the next step.
Manchester City ready to make Andrea Cambiaso offer
Juventus would be willing to accept £54 million for Andrea Cambiaso and that has alerted Manchester City who are ready to submit an offer, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
Originally, the Italian giants were not keen on selling the Italian international and had been holding out for £67 million, however, that stance has now changed.
City’s defeat to Paris Saint Germain only further highlighted their need for defensive reinforcements and they are pushing to do a deal for the 24-year-old.
Cambiaso would offer Guardiola options on either side of his defence which will be important given Kyle Walker’s departure to AC Milan.
TBR Football can confirm that Walker has agreed to join AC Milan on loan after a deal to release him from the remainder of his 18-mointh contract with City contract could not be agreed.
Manchester City also keen on Douglas Luiz
Left-back and midfield appear to be the two priorities for Man City in the final two weeks of the January transfer window.
TBR Football has revealed previously that City had spoken with Juve this month about Cambiaso, as well as right-back Niolco Savona and Douglas Luiz.
City’s interest in Luiz remains with Juventus ready to allow the Brazilian to leave Turin this month, as TBR Football has confirmed.
