The Juan Cuadrado transaction was the only real highlight of an extremely dull 2015 winter transfer window; and he didn’t even fit in Stamford Bridge. He completes a return to Serie A Tuesday by signing for Juventus on season long loan.
The 27-year-old Colombia forward was undergoing a medical in Turin, and it is unknown at this time if Juve will have an option to make the loan permanent at this time.
“We all know that Juve is a great club, among the best teams in Europe. They have everything to win the Scudetto (Serie A),” Juan Cuadrado said on the club’s official website.
“I hope I can give Juventus my best, 100 per cent. I didn’t expect to receive such a warm welcome from the fans in Italy but they have always welcomed me with open arms and that makes me very happy.
“The fans’ support will give me further motivation to do well.”
