Juve want Juan Cuadrado on permanent basis

Juventus are eager to seal a permanent deal for Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado, according to reports.

The Colombian international struggled during his short spell with the Blues, and was loaned out to the Old Lady for the 2015/16 campaign.

Cuadrado has since then impressed with the Turin giants, in spite of their lacklustre start to the Serie A.

The London Evening Standard now claims that Massimiliano Allegri's side have the option of buying the talented winger on a permanent basis at the end of the campaign.

It is added that Chelsea will look to utilize the player's interest in an attempt to lure Paul Pogba to Stamford Bridge next summer.

The 27-year-old joined the Blues from Fiorentina in January.
