According to reports in the Telegraph from yesterday evening, Chelsea are in talks to sign Fiorentina star Juan Cuadrado in the upcoming days of the January transfer window. Cuadrado was linked heavily with Manchester United in the summer but the Colombian, who had a dazzling World Cup in Brazil, preferred to stay in Italy. The 26 year old then signed a contract extension with the Viola and his release clause now stands at €35m (£26m). Matt Law in his report in the Telegraph writes that Cuadrado was a priority signing for Chelsea in the summer.
However any move for Cuadrado will mean both Schurrle and Salah leave the Stamford Bridge side this month. Daily Mail though report that Chelsea’s offer of £20.6m was rejected meaning Fiorentina are unwilling to lower their asking price for the wideman. Despite not being in good form this season, Cuadrado can play on either flank and can also operate as a wing-back. Thus he will bring much needed versatility that Jose Mourinho wants in his side for a quadruple title charge this season. Gianluca Di Marzio staff David Amoyal has a recent update on the situation claiming that Cuadrado’s agent is heading to London to hold talks over the transfer move.
