Fiorentina owner Andrea Della Valle wants a decision over the future of Juan Cuadrado this week.
Cuadrado met with Fiorentina owner Della Valle on Friday to discuss the interest of Manchester United and Barcelona.
"We have given 7-10 days to decide," the club's owner is quoted as saying. "Two weeks at most but if you reach certain numbers it will be almost impossible to [keep] hold.
"I am concerned about the overlap that other teams can offer him. Anyway, let's see. Hopefully we will not be caught unprepared. From what I see, and how we're playing, more than two purchases we make in two weeks, [and] I see no more than three teams are stronger than us."
