Barcelona set sights on Chelsea Flop

Barcelona will reportedly lodge a shock bid for out-of-favour Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado.

The Colombian international failed to cement his spot in the Blues' first-team and was shipped out on loan to Juventus in the summer.

Since then, the 27-year-old has impressed at the Old Lady and this has led to claims that he may seal a permanent contract at Turin in the New Year.

However, Spanish outlet Don Balon claims that the Catalan giants are ready to hijack the deal with manager Luis Enrique being a huge admirer of the player's talents.

It is added that the former Viola star is earmarked as a long-term replacement for Dani Alves at right-back.

Cuadrado is rated at around £16m by Chelsea.
