Chelsea have tabled an opening bid for Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado. The Daily Mail says Fiorentina have rejected Chelsea's offer of £20.6million for Cuadrado.
The Italians have insisted they will not accept bids below the £26.8m release clause in the Colombian's contract but Chelsea will hold further discussions over the next 24 hours.
They are awaiting improved offers from Roma on Mohamed Salah and from Wolfsburg on Andre Schurrle before taking the next step.
