Juventus have informed the Citizens they’ll only negotiate under specific conditions
As the summer transfer window approaches, rumors swirl about Manchester City’s interest in two Juventus stars: goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and full-back Andrea Cambiaso. While Juventus are reluctant to part with either player, significant offers could prove hard to refuse, according to Tuttosport.
Juventus have informed the Citizens they’ll only negotiate under specific conditions. For Cambiaso, the starting valuation is €80 million, though an offer between €65-70 million might suffice.
The Bianconeri requested a whopping €80 million in January
The Bianconeri requested a whopping €80 million in January, but they could drop down to a more realistic figure in the summer, in the region of €60-70 million. The Genoa youth product would also see his salary doubled from €2.5 million per year to €5m.
Pep Guardiola is also keen to bring in an orthodox left-back, something City have not had since Benjamin Mendy, who was suspended and subsequently released after serious sexual allegations were made against him. The Frenchman was cleared in 2023.
Moreover, Man City are searching the market for a new goalkeeper, as Ederson is expected to depart. The Turin-based newspaper reveals that Pep Guardiola’s club has identified Di Gregorio as a potential solution.
Cambiaso, 24, joined Juventus from Genoa in 2022, where he came up through the youth ranks
The Italy international, who has also played at right-back, spent a season on loan at Bologna before becoming a first-team regular for Juventus. Last summer he came off the bench in three of the national team’s four matches at Euro 2024.
Cambiaso has made 25 appearances in all competitions for Juventus this term, scoring twice and providing two assists.
They already tried to sign him last January after parting ways with Kyle Walker. But in the end, the parties weren’t able to find an agreement, while the 25-year-old’s recurring ankle issues may have derailed the operation.

It has been claimed, though, that the proposed transfer to the Etihad will now be completed this summer, and for a fee in the region of €70m (£60m/$80m). However, Liverpool are also now being linked with Cambiaso, given Trent Alexander-Arnold is seemingly on his way to Real Madrid, while Bayern Munich’s name has also been mentioned.
