Juan Cuadrado’s agent has dismissed speculation that the Chelsea winger will be leaving Stamford Bridge just six months after joining the club.
A £27 million signing in January, Cuadrado has struggled to find a role in Jose Mourinho’s side, starting just four Premier League games since his arrival.
Juventus yesterday expressed an interest in bringing the Colombian back to Serie A on loan but it is understood that Chelsea have offered their assurances that Cuadrado will have a bigger role at the club next season.
And the midfielder’s agent has now confirmed that he will be staying in London. Alessandro Lucci told Tuttomercatoweb: "I read with amazement in some English and Italian newspaper about imaginary figures and agents associated with Cuadrado, so I think it is right to clarify the situation.
"Cuadrado is a Chelsea player, strongly backed by Mourinho who believes in him. Juan is fine in London and is very likely to remain at Chelsea. He has interest from other teams but I repeat; Juan is a Chelsea player.”
