'Crazy about me' - Andrea Cambiaso denies Pep Guardiola call and addresses Juventus future amid AC Milan and Napoli links

Juve full-back Cambiaso gave a candid interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport ahead of their Club World Cup opener, dismissing links to Milan, Napoli and Manchester City. He insisted he never asked to leave and feels fully backed by the club and manager Igor Tudor.

The young Italian blood, still only 25 and under contract until 2029, is considered a core part of Juventus’ future. With Thiago Motta’s tenure behind them, the Bianconeri are banking on stability under Tudor, who recently signed a two-year contract, and Cambiaso appears committed to playing a leadership role in Turin’s next chapter.

In the interview, the Italian starlet spoke on transfer rumours and his links with Milan and Napoli, while he was firm in his stance on call from City. He said: "I haven't received any calls, maybe my agents have. In life there's only death for sure but I'm happy here. I haven't spoken to Tudor but I know that the club and the coach are crazy about me. I feel everyone's trust, I'm happy in Turin and I've never asked to leave. Has Guardiola called me again? No."

Speaking about Tudor’s impact and future at the club, Cambiaso praised the manager's role during a challenging phase, saying: "The coach achieved the objective of the Champions League, deserving confirmation, and he presented himself very well with us, helping us in a delicate moment in which there was no time to experiment. We just had to achieve the objective, so he worked a lot on the mental aspect and was very good. Now it will be different, we will do the preparation with him and we will be able to work more tactically. We have already smelled something. We are all very happy to move forward with him."

With the Club World Cup underway in United States and Tudor signed on until 2027, Cambiaso looks set to be a mainstay in Juventus’ plans. Despite the summer links, the player appears to have made clear that he is staying put.
