Juan Cuadrado could be making a swift return to Seria A. The 28-year-old Colombian has agreed to re-join Juventus from Chelsea and according to Tuttosport, this time it will be for keeps, with the Premier League side inserting a clause that states that the bianconeri will be obliged to take him on a permanent transfer next summer.

Cuadrado has agreed to a salary of €3 million per season and despite new boss Antonio Conte’s attempts to keep him at Stamford Bridge, the Colombian’s mind is made up that his game is not suited to the Premier League and a return is now imminent. The journal also states that the two clubs have yet to shake hands on an agreement although the players agent is in London to try to finalise an agreement. Juve CEO Beppe Marotta has explained that he would be delighted to take the player back to Turin.
