Juventus have reportedly made Chelsea’s Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado their top transfer target after he has struggled to adapt in England after joining from Fiorentina in January 2015.
The Blues are thought to be willing to allow Cuadrado to leave on account of his disappointing start but have set a high asking price for the player.
According to Tuttosport, Chelsea have set a deliberately exaggerated fee of €34 million while Juve sporting director Giuseppe Marotta is keen on a loan deal with the option to make the move permanent for €24m.
Cuadrado still has four years left on his contract at Chelsea and it is still possible that he will stay at Stamford Bridge despite his limited impact since arriving from the Viola but the Old Lady still want to send representatives to London to discuss a deal.
Juve are thought to have been dealt a blow in their attempts to sign Oscar from Chelsea as the Brazilian playmaker has reportedly been reassured of his value to the the team although that could pave the way for Cuadrado’s exit.
Cuadrado made 14 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea in the second half of the 2014-15 season and he is yet to score his first goal for the club.
