BREAKING NEWS: Cuadrado returns to Juventus on three-year loan

Juventus have agreed a deal with Chelsea that sees Juan Cuadrado return to the club on a three-year loan.

After failing to establish himself at Chelsea following his move from Fiorentina in February 2015, Cuadrado spent the 2015-16 campaign at the Turin giants.

The Colombia international made 40 appearances in all competitions as Juve became the first club in Italian history to do the Serie A and Coppa Italia double in successive seasons.

Cuadrado will continue his career on loan at Juve, with the agreement running until June 30, 2019.

The Bianconeri will pay Chelsea €5million per season for the next three campaigns and have the opportunity to purchase him outright in a deal worth €25m.

An official club statement read: “Juventus can today confirm that an agreement has been reached with Chelsea for the loan of Juan Cuadrado until 30 June 2019, for an annual consideration of €5 million.

“Juventus has the right to acquire the player on a permanent basis, or will be obliged to upon the achievement of agreed team results during the loan period, for a fee of €25 million, payable in three financial years, minus the loan fees already paid.

“Should Juventus achieve certain sporting results during the player’s contract of employment, the club will owe Chelsea an additional €4 million in contingent payments.”

Cuadrado featured for the Blues in pre-season but was not used by Antonio Conte in any of his team’s three Premier League matches so far.
