EXCLUSIVE: Sissoko offered to Juve, Chelsea block Cuadrado exit
According to our transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano, the Old Lady has yet to persuade the Blues to sell the highly-rated Colombian winger on a loan deal with option to buy. The player’s agent Alessandro Lucci had travelled to London with the task of convincing the South-West London club, but Roman Abramovich has said that the Colombian will only leave to permanent deal and that Antonio Conte wants some more days to see if there’s any chance to convince the player to stay.
Cuadrado, however, wants Juve return because, he believes, he would get more game time than in the Premier League. His agent will fly to London again this week, but Juventus want to close the deal by Thursday, otherwise they might drop the former Fiorentina ace.
Meantime, middleman have offered the Old Lady Moussa Sissoko, an interesting profile, but not Juventus’ priority as the bianconeri would prefer the signings of either Blaise Matuidi or Luiz Gustavo, though they have yet to convince both PSG and Wolfsburg.
