Man City handed transfer deadline for Juventus defender Andrea Cambiasso | OneFootball

Manchester City want to sign a new left-back and have set their sights on Juventus star Andrea Cambiaso.

According to Marca, the Cityzens need to move quickly because Juventus want to sell Cambiaso before June to balance their books.

Thiago Motta’s sacking took its toll on their finances, and they need inflow soon.

City will have to be swift as other suitors might look to take advantage of the desperation in Turin to snap up the Italian international.

Cambiaso is a technically excellent operator, making him the perfect fit for City. He can slot into midfield or central defence and even handle business on the right wing.

His price tag proved a sticking point in the January transfer window. Juventus reportedly want €55 million plus bonuses for Cambiaso.

However, if City play their cards right, they may persuade the Old Lady to budge and accept a lower fee.

Man City should steer clear of Cambiaso

While Cambiaso is an excellent operator, there are questions surrounding his physicality, especially in aerial and ground duels.

He might face the same issue Sergio Gomez faced when he joined the Premier League outfit.

Man City should consider swooping for one of the impressive left-backs in England. They are already accustomed to the intensity and physicality of the Premier League.

Fulham star Antonee Robinson would add defensive solidity and attacking thrust to City’s left-back position and would cost less than Cambiaso.

Bournemouth’s rampaging Hungarian Milos Kerkez has been in terrific form this season and should be on City’s radar.

Newcastle United star Lewis Hall is another option after finding his feet in Tyneside.
