Report: Juventus set to sign Chelsea's Juan Cuadrado on loan

Juan Cuadrado may be on the move again.

The Colombian has struggled to find consistent playing time at Chelsea, starting in just four Premier League matches since completing his transfer from Fiorentina in January.

Pedro's arrival from Barcelona this week puts Cuadrado further down the pecking order, and he was left out of the lineup for Sunday's game at West Brom while Pedro started - and scored - in a 3-2 win.

That lead to immediate speculation over Cuadrado's future, and manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly agreed to let Cuadrado join Juventus on a season-long loan.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports the deal to be worth €1.5 million for the full year without any obligation to buy. That means Cuadrado would return to Chelsea following the 2015-16 season.

It gives the London club the opportunity to keep hold of a player in which they invested £26.1 million only seven months ago, and it gives Juve an attacking player to complement summer signings Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala.

Cuadrado has not yet scored a goal for Chelsea in 15 competitive appearances.
