Manchester City focus on Cambiaso as Walker departure looms
With Walker requesting a move away from Manchester City, the Premier League champions have turned their attention to Juventus’ Cambiaso.
The Italian star has been a standout performer for the Old Lady this season, excelling both as a left-back, right-back and in more advanced roles on the right flank.
Reports suggest Manchester City are preparing a bid between £50-55 million to secure Cambiaso’s services.
If completed, the transfer would mark another high-profile addition to Guardiola’s squad, which has already seen reinforcements this January, including Brazilian defender Vitor Reis and imminent signings like Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov.
Aina likely to stay at Nottingham Forest
While Manchester City had shown interest in Ola Aina as a potential defensive reinforcement, the club’s focus appears to have shifted.
Nottingham Forest is working to secure Aina on a new contract, as his current deal expires at the end of the season.
Aina has started all 20 of Forest’s league games this season, helping the club climb to an impressive third place in the Premier League.
Despite his impressive form, Manchester City will still move away from pursuing Aina, turning their focus on Cambiaso and other January targets, as Guardiola reshapes his squad to salvage the season.

Aina is a good player guardiola should have completed the transfer with the super eagle defender.
