Fiorentina confirm Cuadrado departure

Fiorentina have confirmed that Colombian winger will join Chelsea before the transfer deadline on February 2.

Recent reports revealed that the talented winger had agreed personal terms with the Blues over the potential transfer.

La Viola coach Vincenzo Montella has now confirmed that Cuadrado will switch to the West London club with Salah set to move the other way on loan.

"Honestly, it was something that had to be done," He said. "As a coach I'm disappointed, but on a pragmatic level the fee is so high that it's worth it.

"We're getting a player in Salah who will have to adapt to our football. This is a league that's different from the Swiss and the English."
