Juventus ponder early permanent deal for Chelsea wing-back Juan Cuadrado

Juventus are ready to sign permanently on-loan Chelsea wing-back Juan Cuadrado.

The unusual three-year loan contract between the two clubs did not have a recall clause built into it.

Antonio Conte was in Turin to watch his former club beat Inter Milan 1-0 with thanks to Cuadrado, who was seen as surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

The 28-year-old's stay at Juve sees Chelsea paid £4million per season and another £8.4m should the Italians look to make the deal permanent, says the Daily Mail.

Cuadrado's Chelsea departure came about because he wanted first-team football – something which was not on offer in west London.
