Chelsea transfer news: Juan Cuadrado exit likely as Juventus confirm they want to re-sign winger on loan after last season’s title win

JUVENTUS have confirmed they want to re-sign Chelsea flop Juan Cuadrado.

The winger spent the last season on loan in Turin, making 40 appearances in all competitions and helping Max Allegri’s men win another Serie A title.

Cuadrado was a key man in Juve’s squad, bringing width and pace to a side which usually stuck rigid with a narrow 4-diamond-2 formation.

And despite returning to west London under Antonio Conte, he could now be heading out on loan again.

Reports on Wednesday claimed Cuadrado is pushing for a move abroad after becoming unhappy about a lack of guarantees of first team chances.

AC Milan have been linked with a £25million bid after being taken over by a Chinese consortium, but it’s claimed Juventus are leading the race for Cuadrado’s signature.

And CEO Beppe Marotta has now confirmed his side are indeed trying desperately to negotiate a fresh deal for the Colombian after he impressed club chiefs last year.

Marotta said: “Cuadrado is a player welcomed for various reasons. With us he behaved well, our experience with him was extremely positive.

“It’s a question that will be resolved in the next couple of days max. For now he’s at Chelsea. If the club is open to it, we’ll start talking. A loan? I’d say yes, we’ll see.”
