Overview
- This week Chelsea opened formal contact and have an initial offer reported at about €27–28m while Juventus are holding out for roughly €35–40m.
- Barcelona have proposed a player-plus-cash swap that would include Ronald Araujo but Juventus have shown a clear preference for straight cash to keep reinvestment options open.
- Conversations have widened to include Nicolas Jackson as a makeweight from Chelsea, with Juventus interested in a striker as part of broader negotiations.
- Cambiaso is 26, two-footed and able to play both full-back and wing-back roles, and his contract through 2029 gives Juventus negotiating leverage but also makes him a high-value sale candidate.
- Selling Cambiaso would produce a large capital gain for Juventus because his current book value is low, a result that could free money for transfers and affect Juventus' pursuit of a new forward in July.
