Manchester United are making a major bid for Fiorentina for Juan Cuadrado this week. With a deal for former Sporting CP defender Marcos Rojo now wrapped up, United will focus on the Colombia international.
Florence sources say United will offer £32 million today with the view to signing Cuadrado before Saturday.
The wing-back has been managed carefully by Fiorentina since his return from World Cup duty and did not take part in their glamour Warsaw friendly against Real Madrid on the weekend.
United boss Louis van Gaal wants a deal agreed and Cuadrado registered in time to face Sunderland this weekend.
