Manchester City appear set move for a versatile full-back as they bid to bolster Pep Guardiola’s squad | OneFootball

In the ever-evolving world that is the January transfer market, it appears that Manchester City are set to make a move for versatile full-back Andrea Cambiaso. There are now multiple reports indicating that the world champions are set to begin talks with Juventus to sign Cambiaso. It seems that City have quickly identified their next target as they continue to move quickly to bolster Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Rob Dawson has reported for ESPN that Manchester City have registered their interest in signing Andrea Cambiaso with Juventus. Furthermore, Dawson reports that as of now, City haven’t submitted a formal bid for Cambiaso. It is also reported by Dawson that City’s move for Cambiaso could accelerate if Juventus are willing to sell the versatile full-back.

Italian football expert Gianluca Di Marzio has also reported that Manchester City are expected to submit a bid of between €60-65 million for Andrea Cambiaso. His tweet can be seen below.

Manchester City moving for Andre Cambiaso does make sense. With Kyle Walker appearing set to leave the club, there is a need for City to add another full-back. Cambiaso is a versatile player who can play either as an inverted full-back or he can play as a traditional full-back. The Italian defender can also play at left and right-back, so he could immediately play a key role for Pep Guardiola if Manchester City do move for the Juventus defender. All indications are that City could begin talks to sign Cambiaso in the coming days.

Manchester City are moving quickly to wrap up several deals this week.

Manchester City do appear to know exactly what they need to bring in this month. They have already been busy in the transfer market. Deals for Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis appear to be on the verge of being completed. Fabrizio Romano has also reported that City are close to finalizing a deal to sign Omar Marmoush.

Pep Guardiola’s squad will likely look very different by the time the January transfer window closes. There was always the possibility that Manchester City would be big players in this month’s transfer window and that is how it is turning out. Andrea Cambiaso now looms as City’s next transfer target. The next few days could reveal just how eager City are to add the versatile full-back to their squad based on today’s reports.
