Chelsea transfer news: Juventus re-sign Juan Cuadrado on loan with view to permanent deal

JUVENTUS have agreed a deal to re-sign Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado on loan for the next three seasons.

The Italian champions have the option to make the move permanent once the deal comes to an end.

The loan deal will cost an initial fee of around £4.25m, with Juve having to pay Chelsea around £17m if he makes a certain amount of appearances.

The winger, 28, spent last season on loan at Juve, helping Max Allegri’s men storm to another Serie A title win.

Antonio Conte was keen to see Cuadrado remain at Stamford Bridge for the new Premier League campaign but could not guarantee him regular first-team action.

It marks the end of a miserable time at Stamford Bridge for Cuadrado, who managed just 13 league appearances after joining for £26m from Fiorentina in 2014.

But Chelsea continue to plough on in the transfer market, having announced the signing of left-back Marcos Alonso.

A deal for former player David Luiz is growing closer too, with the Paris Saint-Germain ace expected to rejoin in a deal worth over £30m before tonight’s deadline.
