Andrea Cambiaso has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Manchester City , with the Premier League side said to be eyeing a move for the Juventus defender. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Manchester City remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Liverpool continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Manchester City 's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.93 goals per game (25 in 27). Andrea Cambiaso would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Juventus are said to be exploring Iyenoma Destiny Udogie, Ian Maatsen and Guglielmo Vicario with Manchester City likewise connected to Morgan Gibbs-White, Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues and Elliot Anderson.
