Juan Cuadrado's name continues to be enveloped in transfer speculation.

The Colombian winger joined Chelsea from Fiorentina in January but failed to dazzle after the Premier League champions paid £26.8million for his services.

Since the completion of last season, Cuadrado has continually been linked with a Stamford Bridge departure with the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus showing significant interest.

Tuttosport reports that AS Roma have now joined the race for the 27-year old despite the fact his agent Alessandro Lucci has said that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho wants to keep him in West London.

Roma initially want Cuadrado on loan according to the report.
