The 27-year-old Colombian returns to Italy just seven months after leaving Fiorentina for the Premier League in a €35-million transfer.

Fans greeted Cuadrado upon his arrival at Malpensa Airport in Milan on Monday evening.

"It's now up to (coach Massimiliano) Allegri to work out where the players will play," club director Beppe Marrota told Mediaset on the weekend.

Juve is still seeking an attacking midfielder - reportedly Schalke's Julian Draxler - to complete an active transfer season. The Bianconeri have already signed Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala, and Alex Sandro, spending more than €80 million in the process.

Cuadrado had trouble settling in England, making just four league starts with Chelsea since joining the London club in February.
