Mercato: Barcelona favorite for Andrea Cambiaso after interest from Chelsea
By OnzeActu · · 2 min read
Italian Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso, close last winter to a departure for Manchester City, would today be courted as a priority by FC Barcelona. Chelsea also reportedly followed him recently, but Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano see Barcelona in pole position to complete the deal this summer.
The transfer window around Andrea Cambiaso takes a new turn. After contacts and interest shown from Chelsea this week, the versatile Juventus full-back would now be FC Barcelona's priority, according to Sky Sport Italia and transfer specialists Gianluca Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano.
The 26-year-old had already come close to a move to Manchester City in January 2025, a deal ultimately blocked due to injuries and various issues. Chelsea has been cited as a following club in recent days, but the latest information gives the advantage to the Catalan club, which has been following the file for several months - Sportitalia already mentioned its name in March.

Juventus could be pushed to give up one of their attacking elements on the flanks this summer in order to finance other reinforcements, which could speed up a transfer. Cambiaso, bought for 15.5 million euros from Genoa in 2022, can play on the right or on the left, on the side or as a piston, which increases his attractiveness for several suitors.
In terms of accounting, the native of Albenga has scored three goals and provided five assists in 47 appearances in all competitions this season with Juventus. These figures, added to his versatility, explain the continued interest from leading clubs in Europe.
It now remains to be seen whether Barcelona will materialize its lead on the file or whether a rival – Chelsea or another suitor – will shake up the race this summer. Regardless, Cambiaso is among the profiles to follow during the transfer window.
