Arsenal have previously shopped in Serie A for a defender, signing Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. Now, it is Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso who is attracting their attention.
In the past, the Italian has been linked with a move to Manchester City and [Get Italian Football News](https://www.getfootballnewsitaly.com/2025/manchester-city-closing-in-on-juventus-andrea-cambiaso-as-price-tag-emerges/#google_vignette) was close to the coverage about 12 months ago.
Now, **La Gazzetta dello Sport** [report](http://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/14-04-2026/palestra-bastoni-cambiaso-l-italia-perde-ancora-i-suoi-migliori.shtml?refresh_ce) that Arsenal tried to sign the versatile wing-back in the summer. This is mainly because Mikel Arteta is believed to be a big fan of the Italy international, who has done quite well under Luciano Spalletti.
Now, he is back on the Gunners’ shortlist for the summer and a sale could be made by the Old Lady, if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Although they are in the top four right now, a failure to finish there would put a financial burden on them to make major sales. Cambiaso will be one of the candidates to depart, having improved a fair bit since joining from Bologna himself.
