For the first time since 2020, Manchester City didn’t win the Premier League. Somewhere in Liverpool, the ghost of Jürgen Klopp probably chuckled. Now, Pep Guardiola—part tactician, part mad scientist—is planning an expensive resurrection. But there’s a hiccup in the script: Liverpool wants Andrea Cambiaso, one of Guardiola’s top defensive targets.
His Dream Signing Might Be Heading to Anfield
City’s transfer strategy has been more precise than a Phil Foden half-volley—until now. After sniffing around Cambiaso in January and practically leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to the Etihad, Guardiola might have to watch the Juventus full-back slip away to… Liverpool. Yes, those guys again. With Arne Slot prepping for life without Alexander-Arnold and possibly Tsimikas, Cambiaso fits the bill—fast, versatile, and apparently allergic to staying at Juventus much longer.
Guardiola Watching Liverpool Shop in His Aisle
Juventus seems all too ready to hand over Cambiaso’s parking pass. They’re already eyeing Maxime De Cuyper as a replacement, which means the €45m tag is more than just a polite suggestion—it’s the price of not getting ghosted by your primary target again. And let’s face it, when Guardiola wants someone, he usually gets them. But this time, Liverpool’s “Premier League champions” badge gives them the sexier pitch. Sorry, Pep—trophies talk.
Guardiola’s Patience Is Wearing Thinner Than City’s Title Hopes
With Florian Wirtz, a teenage prodigy, and a midfield wishlist longer than your grandma’s grocery note, Guardiola has plenty to juggle. But losing Cambiaso to Liverpool would sting—especially if the Italian becomes a key cog in Slot’s revamped engine. Add another plot twist in the Pep vs. Everyone saga, and the summer’s just heating up.Add another plot twist in the Pep vs. Everyone saga, and the summer’s just heating up.
And if Cambiaso does light up Anfield, Guardiola might need more than £180m—perhaps a crystal ball and divine intervention too.
