Fiorentina president Della Valle: Chelsea must pay Cuadrado buyout clause

Fiorentina president Andrea Della Valle insists they do not want to sell Juan Cuadrado.

There are reports of Chelsea tabling at least two offers for the Colombian in recent days.

"Cuadrado-Chelsea? We put a clause in his contract so high for his buyout clause ... I hope he stays with us. Otherwise they will have to pay a lot (to take him away)," said the patron.

Della Valle also commented on their loan deal for Guangzhou Evergrande striker Alberto Gilardino.

"Gilardino is a reinforcement wanted by me and the coach, after playing with a few forwards we have a striker who is super motivated, who refused a rich contract in Canada to come to us. Hopefully Gila brings us something important in May."
