Mourinho pushes Chelsea to challenge Man Utd for Juan Cuadrado

Chelsea have joined the scramble for Fiorentina star Juan Cuadrado. The Colombia international, who was the subject of intense interest from Manchester United and Barcelona over the summer, is yet to agree terms over a new deal with Fiorentina - this despite negotiations kicking off in September.

Corriere dello Sport says while United remain keen, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is also interested in the exciting midfielder.

Mourinho is happy with the balance of his current squad, but is a big fan of Cuadrado, who enjoyed an outstanding World Cup.

Cuadrado's current contract carries a £32 million buyout clause.
