Juventus appear to be back-tracking on a prior agreement for the transfer of Juan Cuadrado, in an exclusive from Calico Mercato.
Juan Cuadrado joined Juventus on loan from Chelsea last summer, after failing to adapt to the rigour of the Premier League.
The negotiations in the summer were believed to have included an agreement from both clubs to make Cuadrado’s stay in Turin permanent for a fee of €20 million, or £15 million.
Juventus’ CEO Giuseppe Marotta has publicly revealed his admiration for the player and has stated his intention to sign Cuadrado permanently.
The Colombian winger’s latest contribution included one of Juventus’ two goals, as they ran out 2-0 winners at Frosinone, extending their winning run to 14 successive games.
Yet despite Cuadrado’s positive form, it seems Juventus are only prepared to pay a figure closer to the €20 million mark (£11.5 million), substantially less than previously agreed.
One factor that may aid the Old Lady in negotiations is Cuadrado’s desire to leave Stamford Bridge, a position which the Bianconeri hope to force Chelsea to lower their requests.
