'I haven't received any call, maybe my agents have,' said Cambiaso.
'The only certain thing in life is death, but I'm happy here. I haven't spoken to Tudor, but I know the club and the coach hold me in high regard. I feel everyone's trust. I'm happy in Turin and I've never asked to leave.'
Cambiaso was reported to be a big Manchester City transfer target in January, but insisted he had never spoken to Pep Guardiola either.

Juventus coach Igor Tudor has extended his contract to 2027, and Cambiaso revealed that the team is glad the Croat will remain in charge for the long term.
'Absolutely. When the coach arrived, the goal was to qualify for the Champions League, so he fully deserved to be confirmed. He made a great impression on us,' the defender said.
'He helped us through a tricky moment when there was no time for experiments. We just had to achieve our objective, so he focused a lot on the mental aspect and did an excellent job. Now things will be different. We'll have a preseason with him and will be able to work more on tactics. We've already had a taste of it. We're all very happy to continue with him.'
Tudor replaced Thiago Motta in March. What was the issue with the previous Juventus coach?

'I don't know. Last August, I would have never guessed it would end like this,' admitted Cambiaso.
'I'm sorry because I know him well. I had him at Bologna, and I think he's a great coach. Something didn't click, and the results showed that.'

The Bianconeri will make their Club World Cup debut against Al-Ain on June 18 (June 19 in Europe). What do they expect from this competition?

'It will be a surprise, but just being here for the first time is great. We're all definitely tired, but playing is our job, and it's a beautiful thing.'
Lastly, the Juventus defender spoke about Gennaro Gattuso's appointment as Italy's head coach.

Too much self-confidence? Youngster determined to make his mark at Bayern
To become a professional soccer player, you need to bring a few things to the table as a soccer player. For example, talent, ambition, but also a certain amount of self-confidence. 'I absolutely want to establish myself here at FC Bayern and one day play for the club in the Champions League,' Lennart Karl explained to 'Sport1' in April. Okay, that sounds extremely self-confident for a 17-year-old. Maybe too self-confident? Advertisement Just a few days ago, the teenager collected his first professional minutes at FC Bayern Munich at the Club World Cup. The offensive player was substituted on at halftime in the 10-0 win over Auckland and received direct praise from his coach afterwards. 'He had good situations. It's good for him and for FC Bayern that he made his debut,' Kompany was satisfied with the performance of his youngster. Previously, Karl, who can be used flexibly in the offense, had already shone for the FCB youth team. In the U17, he scored 27 goals and prepared eleven more. After his jump to the U19, he followed without major adaptation problems with seven goals in nine games. Sounds almost like a half striker, or? Advertisement 'Lennart himself defines Martin Ødegaard as his role model, I actually see parallels there. He also has a bit of Arjen Robben and Michael Olise, who like to pull into the middle and finish,' describes Bayern's sporting youth director, Markus Weinzierl, the 17-year-old's playing style. He even goes further. In an interview with the 'Abendzeitung München', the former Bundesliga coach described Karl's professional debut as "unavoidable". His talent has not gone unnoticed by the DFB either. Since the U15, the Bayern jewel has been playing for Germany and recently outshone almost everyone in the U17. 📸 Carlos Rodrigues - 2025 Getty Images Advertisement In his last three DFB games, he prepared three goals and scored twice himself. Okay, that sounds like the 17-year-old has a good reason to have a portion of self-confidence. And who knows - maybe the 1.68-meter-tall midfielder will make a name for himself again tonight against Boca Juniors (3:00 am). If he needs tips for his first professional goal, "El Capitano" can certainly help him. Michael Ballack is Karl's advisor - and certainly has one or two tips ready for his protégé.
