Chelsea Eye Juventus' Andrea Cambiaso Amid Financial Pressure
June 18, 2026 · Adela Ramos
Juventus faces a challenging situation after failing to qualify for the Champions League, potentially leading to Andrea Cambiaso's exit, with Chelsea showing interest.
Juventus' recent failure to secure a spot in the Champions League has placed the club in a precarious financial situation, which may result in the departure of key player Andrea Cambiaso. Chelsea is reportedly interested in acquiring the Italian defender, with La Gazzetta dello Sport noting that both Chelsea and Barcelona have shown significant interest in Cambiaso. The Catalan club has made several inquiries about him in recent weeks, and Xabi Alonso is also reportedly keen on the player.
Juventus values Cambiaso at €40 million and, given their current financial constraints, the potential sale could offer a substantial boost to their balance sheet. The involvement of Giovanni Carnevali, Juventus' new CEO, could be pivotal for Chelsea, as he has a history of collaborating with the London club during his tenure at Sassuolo, particularly in dealings related to Jeremie Boga.
Chelsea's recent sale of Marc Cucurella has increased their financial flexibility, which could provide them with an edge in negotiations. This financial advantage might be beneficial for Juventus, who are seeking to capitalize on Cambiaso's sale to address their budget shortfalls.
