Report: Cuadrado will return to Juventus on loan with option to buy

"Shorty" and the Old Lady are reportedly set for a reunion.

According to Fabrizio Romano of Sky Sport and the Guardian, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado will be returning to Juventus on loan from Chelsea. The Old Lady is going to pay €5-million to bring the Colombian winger back to Serie A and will have a €20-million obligation to buy the 28-year-old should he make a pre-defined number of appearances.

Cuadrado, nicknamed "Shorty," spent last season at Juventus on loan from Chelsea after failing to settle at Stamford Bridge, and tallied four goals and five assists as the club conquered Serie A for a fifth consecutive season. Antonio Conte apparently told the Blues not to sell the native of Necocli, Colombia in March, but a lot can obviously change in five months.

At the Copa America Centenario, Cuadrado was part of Colombia's squad and helped Los Cafeteros reach the semi-finals, where they were knocked out by Chile in a fixture that lasted more than four hours because of Mother Nature. The afro-sporting winger will likely take the pitch for his national team again on Thursday, when Colombia plays at home to Venezuela in 2018 World Cup qualifying.
