Liverpool in race to sign £61m tactical wonder

Liverpool interested in Andrea Cambiaso

Arguably Liverpool haven’t had a player of Cambiaso’s type since James Milner left in 2023 - a multifaceted performer who can play in a range of positions.

Any top squad competing for honours requires these kinds of players - and that’s why Cambiaso is such an intriguing option.

Currently earning around £38k per week at Juve according to a report in Caught Offside his signing would not break the wage budget but Liverpool would have to stump up a sizeable transfer fee.

The Italian giants would do business at between £52m and £61m according to the report - although that might come down if Juve want to add Federico Chiesa to the mix.

Cambiaso would cost €60m to €70m

“Clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Juventus full-back Cambiaso,” the report reads.

“His current contract runs until 2029, and his reported annual salary of around €2.4 million places him comfortably within the club’s wage structure.

“Juventus are expected to demand between €60–70 million before engaging seriously.”

Liverpool wouldn’t have much use for Cambiaso as a first-choice left-back with Milos Kerkez set to reign in that position for a decade.

But he would be more than adequate back-up to the Hungary international - as well as an option at right-back and on either wing.

The Premier League champions would be effectively getting four players for the price of one.
