Italian defender ignites the mercato between Manchester City and Barcelona

Khaberni - Media reports mentioned that the name of the Italian defender Andrea Cambiaso has become the most frequent in the football environment before the opening of the next summer mercato.

According to "La Gazzetta dello," the name of the 26-year-old player has been frequently mentioned in the corridors of the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City's management has renewed their interest in the Italian international.

They stated that the City has entered into fierce competition with Barcelona to sign the Juventus player, Andrea Cambiaso, during the upcoming summer transfer period, amid growing interest in his services across the European continent.

Barcelona is looking to strengthen the left-back position, in response to the vision of their German coach Hansi Flick, who aims to fortify the team's human composition with elements capable of providing technical value, especially at the wings.

Cambiaso has gained admiration from the sports management of the "Catalan" club, due to his diverse attacking skills and his ability to make a difference on the left flank, despite some remarks about his defensive aspect, at a time when the finalization of the deal remains conditional on the financial situation of his Italian club.

The same goes for the Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, who has shown admiration for the Italian defender and recommended him to the club's management for signing last year.

"La Gazzetta dello" reported that the player is on the shortlist of the two European giants "Manchester City and Barcelona," alongside interest from other European clubs.

According to Transfermarkt, Cambiaso's market value is around 30 million euros.

Andrea Cambiaso's contract with Juventus extends until 2029, so the Italian giant values his transfer at 50 million euros.
