    Could Juan Cuadrado return to Chelsea?

    It was not a good start of 2016 for Jaun Cuadrado as the former Chelsea winger has failed to start both against Verona and Sampdoria since the beginning of the new year, though he is expected to line-up against Udinese or Lazio in Coppa Italia.

    The Colombia International was sidelined after Massimiliano Allegri’s decision to swap Juve to 3-5-2, though he had had a good start to the season, reaching the pick of his form while Juventus had been struggling in Serie A.

    As calciomercato.com’s Serie A pundit Gianluca Minchiotti reports, it seems that Cuadrado is not a priority for Juventus, so much so he could return to Chelsea at the end of the current campaign.

    Juventus and Chelsea have not officially agreed a buy-out clause to make Cuadrado’s move to the Stadium permanent, though they are rumored to have reach a gentleman agreement over the player’s transfer.

    Juventus, in fact, agreed to pay € 27 million to sign the player on a permanent basis last summer, while they are believed to had recently persuaded Chelsea to lower their requests for the 27-year-old winger who can now join the Stadium for a fee in the region of € 20 million.

    Trouble is, the player’s price-tag is still too expensive for the Old Lady who would prefer to make Cuadrado move permanent for  € 10-15 million, otherwise they’d be ready to send the player back to Stamford Bridge.
