Chelsea have made an enquiry about Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso as they search for a replacement for Marc Cucurella. The approach comes during the current transfer window, with the Premier League side looking to reshape its defensive options. No further details about a potential fee or the player's willingness to move have been disclosed.
The enquiry
The London club contacted Juventus to express interest in the 24-year-old Italian defender. Cambiaso, who can play on either flank, has been with the Serie A club since 2022 and has made regular appearances this season. Chelsea's enquiry is understood to be preliminary, with no formal bid submitted at this stage.
Cucurella's situation
Marc Cucurella joined Chelsea from Brighton in 2022 for a reported £62 million but has struggled to cement a starting spot. The Spain international has been linked with a move away, though the club has not commented on his future. Chelsea's interest in Cambiaso suggests they are preparing for his possible departure.
The next step is whether Chelsea will follow up the enquiry with a formal offer. Juventus are not actively looking to sell, but a substantial bid could change their stance.
