Agent Confirms Buzz on Manchester City Eyeing Cambiaso

Giovanni Bia, the agent of Andrea Cambiaso, stated that Manchester City were truly interested in his client even though the deal didn’t come together and the rumors fizzled out in the last week of the window. He spoke to Radio Kiss Kiss (via SOSFanta).

“Juventus will explain what happened. I can say that everything that was written on the papers was true, including the fact that Pep Guardiola wanted him.”

The representative also dished on Douglas Luiz and the moves by Napoli.

“People often don’t take into consideration that it’s not easy to play in Italy for those who comes from abroad. He’s the prime example of somebody who was going like gangbusters in the Premier League and then struggles in Serie A.”

“The Partenopei had the intelligence of standing pat. It’s pointless to chase after somebody who might not be useful. They don’t have the Champions League and don’t need an overly deep roster. Maybe the newcomer would have wanted to play at all costs and ruined the group.”

Thiago Motta addressed Cambiaso in the presser before facing Como.

“We’re happy he stayed at Juventus. I think his idea was always this, which is important.”

The fullback will sit out his third game in a row due to a relapse of an ankle injury.

Our Take on Cambiaso

It’s entirely possible that the transfer didn’t happen simply for a matter of timing. The Bianconeri operated on a shoestring all January long without considering an incoming large windfall. The outcome might have been different had the suitors tabled their proposal sooner. The same bid will be tough to resist in the summer, and cashing in handsomely is par for the course for most Serie A sides.
