Arsenal made contact this summer over the potential signing of Juventus star Andrea Cambiaso.
The Gunners have been linked to the versatile Italy international for several months now, with the 25-year-old able to play in multiple positions around the pitch.

And Juventus transfer journalist Mirko Di Natale has now confirmed that Arsenal did make contact for Cambiaso this summer through intermediaries.
What did Di Natale say?
“There was interest from Arsenal in Cambiaso (this summer),”Di Natale told The Italian Football Podcast.
“There was contact from Arsenal for Cambiaso, not with his agents but through intermediaries.
“There was also interest from Atletico Madrid and Wolves.
“Juventus will listen to offers only for at least €50 million.
“And this is unlikely to arrive for a player who played very bad in the second half of last season.
“For this reason, I see Cambiaso at Juventus this season.”
Cambiaso was close to joining Man City in January for around €60 million.
Pep Guardiola is known to be a big fan of the player but in the end the deal fell through despite being at an advanced stage.
City are no longer interested in Cambiaso after signing Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves.
Arsenal also have other priorities but could move for a left back if players in this area - such as Oleksandr Zinchenko - depart this month.
Cambiaso is a tactically very flexible and unorthodox player, who can interpret multiple positions and roles on the pitch.
Naturally, he is a both-footed full-back or wing-back who can play on either side. But he has also played as a winger and as a central midfielder for Juventus.
As a full-back, he loves to get forward and to invert by cutting inside and joining the centre of the field as a playmaker. He is technically excellent, creative and a good dribbler.
He can occasionally switch off, be too laidback and take unnecessary risks, and after an outstanding first half to the 2024-25 season he endured a big dip in the second half of the campaign.
Cambiaso joined Juventus from Genoa in 2022 and after a season on loan at Bologna has established himself as one of Serie A’s best full-backs.
He has also been capped 14 times by Italy, scoring three goals. He played for Italy at Euro 2024.
