Juventus Nervous Over Juan Cuadrado's Future With Antonio Conte Soon to Take Over at Chelsea

Published on: 15 June 2016

"?Juventus are said to be worried over Juan Cuadrado's future, with Italy boss Antonio Conte set to head to Chelsea after Euro 2016, according to the "?Daily Mail.


It is understood that the manager is leaning towards giving the Colombian winger a new lease on life at Stamford Bridge, as he would make a great fit in his preferred 3-5-2 formation.

Cuadrado spent the season on loan at Juventus after failing to nail down a place in Jose Mourinho's Blues squad. Joining Chelsea from Fiorentina for £23.3m in February of last year, he made just 15 appearances for the eventual Premier League champions.


He proved a real hit on his return to Serie A football this past season, however, and Conte is well aware of his exploits at Juve.

The 28-year-old is currently on Copa America duty with Colombia, following a great campaign, during which he scored five goals and delivered as many assists en route to the Serie A title. Juve also claimed the Coppa Italia, beating AC Milan in the final.


Beppe Marotta, the club president, has previously spoken on his desire to retain Cuadrado, but also appreciates and understands that Conte may want the player in his Chelsea squad for next season.


The Serie A outfit have long shown interest in Brazil midfielder Oscar, and will more than likely offer him a route out of Stamford Bridge this summer. The 24-year-old had an underwhelming season for the Blues, and it would come as no surprise if he wanted to move on during the break.
