Juventus expecting complicated Chelsea deal for Cuadrado

Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has admitted that completing a permanent deal for on-loan star Juan Cuadrado could be difficult.

Cuadrado joined Juventus from Chelsea on a season-long loan last summer and the Colombian international has been crucial to helping the Old Lady claim their 5th consecutive Serie A title this term.

As a result, Juventus want to sign Cuadrado on a permanent deal at the end of the season but the chief executive of the Italian giants has admitted that signing the 27-year-old will not be a straightforward task.

Marotta said: "We have not held talks with Chelsea yet over Cuadrado, but it will be a complicated deal as well, just like with (Alvaro) Morata.

"Juan has been important to us, but he is only on loan.

"Chelsea are well stocked in his position, though, so we will try to make a deal."
