Juventus GM Beppe Marotta says they hope to "conclude" the signing of Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado.

Marotta is upbeat over signing the Colombian.

"I hope that over the next few days we can conclude the Cuadrado deal," said Marotta.

The Colombian was not even on the bench for today's 2-1 win away to Watford, fuelling reports he'll arrive on loan for €3.5m.

“For now he is a Chelsea player. We presented a proposal to them and are waiting for a response, but we are optimistic."
