Man City closing in on deadline-beating £58.7m transfer after shock decision Manchester City are unlikely to pursue a move for Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso - despite the champions enquiring over a potential deal.
On Tuesday, Juve coach Thiago Motta revealed that the 24-year-old told the club he was still feeling the ankle injury that forced him to miss his team’s first Serie A defeat of the season at Napoli at the weekend.
City have already spent big during the transfer following the arrivals of Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Juma Bah.
City have had a £54.5million offer for Cambiaso rejected as they look to replace Kyle Walker, with the Italian club demanding £75.5million.
But despite an initial enquiry from City, a deal before Monday night's deadline appears unlikely.
