Juventus are still awaiting an official offer from Manchester City for versatile full-back Andrea Cambiaso, but the Bianconeri are already prepared to tell City to increase their bid, according to reports on Friday morning.

Several outlets in Italy claim that Pep Guardiola’s side are preparing a €65m bid for the Italy international in January.

Sky Sport Italia, and several others in Italy, claim that Juve will insist on an €80m price tag for Cambiaso, whose current deal in Turin runs until the summer of 2029.

The €80m fee that has been quoted in Italy on Friday would make Cambiaso the most expensive full-back of all time, alongside Lucas Hernandez, who moved to Bayern Munich for the same fee in 2020.

In terms of defenders, only Josko Gvardiol, Harry Maguire, Matthijs De Ligt and Wesley Fofana have transferred for a higher fee.

Sky Sport Italia adds that Manchester City are prepared to offer Cambiaso a five-year deal with an option for a sixth, and that negotiations are expected to pick up in the next few days.
