Chelsea's out of favour winger, Juan Cuadrado who was on loan with Juventus last season enjoyed a good year at Serie A giant, earning his first Italian league and domestic cup titles after spending 7 years of his career in the country at four different clubs. Amidst rumours of a potential return to Chelsea to play under manager Antonio Conte, staying with Juventus, and even talks of Barcelona being interested in his services (as a replacement for Dani Alves, presumably), Cuadrado's mind remains firmly focused on the task of playing the Copa América with the Colombian national team.
"It's nice to hear [about Barcelona reports], but here you do not think about it, only the national team. After [Copa América] we will see what happens with my future." said Cuadrado
Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta has stated on multiple occasions that he wants the 28-year-old right winger to stay at his club next season, with Cuadrado claiming that the Juve squad is like a "family" to him. The rumours on the Barcelona front come from Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb, which isn't exactly a strong source, so can probably safely be ignored (for now).
Before winter, Cuadrado's transfer to Juventus seemed a certainty, but first a dip in form then some hold-ups in negotiations have pushed it back further and further. Now, with Antonio Conte apparently interested in bringing the player back to Chelsea, anything could happen. So... which club will he be heading to?
