Juventus
are interested in signing Chelsea' Juan Cuadrado and he is the Serie A
champions' third choice for a new attacking-midfielder, according to Sky
Italia.
It is understood Juve's first choice is Schalke's Julian Draxler, whom they
are currently pursuing a deal to sign, but if they fail to land the German
international they will turn their attention to Borussia Dortmund's Henrikh
Mkhitaryan.
Should the Bianconeri fail with both, it is believed they will turn their
attentions to Cuadrado, whom they believe is available for transfer this
summer.
Cuadrado only signed for Chelsea in January from Fiorentina for £26.1m but
appeared to struggle and started just four Premier League games before the
end of the season.
The Colombia international made his first appearance of the new campaign as
a substitute in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City on Sunday, and he is yet
to score for the Blues.
Cuadrado will also find it more difficult to break into Jose Mourinho's
first team after they completed the signing of Barcelona's
attacking-midfielder Pedro.
Juventus were previously interested in Tottenham duo Christian Eriksen and
Erik Lamela but it is understood Spurs have told the Italian club they are
not interested in selling either player and Juve have ended their interest.
