According to sources at Sky Sports Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado has made it clear that he wants to leave Italy and join Chelsea.
Fiorentina however are playing hardball over his price refusing to sell for anything less than his £26.8 million buyout clause as talks continue between the Italians and the west London club.
Cuadrado meanwhile played for la Viola against Roma yesterday with his manager Vincenzo Montella at pains to keep him at the club as they go in search of Champions League football next season.
The Italian coach said last week: “I believe, as of today, there are no possibilities he will leave Fiorentina. He knows this and that these situations get exaggerated.
“I’m not angry with the media, In this case I’m not referring to the media, but to football.
All that is being said is just talk and nothing more. The player is not involved in all of this.”
