Juventus are leading the chase to acquire Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado this summer, according to Turin-based daily Tuttosport.

Cuadrado has been at Stamford Bridge since January following his move from Serie A side Fiorentina.




However, he struggled for regular first team action under manager Jose Mourinho and was reduced to a mere four starts in the Premier League. The winger is reported to be available and Chelsea had offered him to Barcelona, who refused the chance to bid.

The Colombia international has been heavily linked with a move back to Italy's Serie A, where Juventus and Inter Milan have been tussling for his signature.
 


Roberto Mancini’s Inter had also held talks with Chelsea in their bid for the Colombian, but no deal has come to fruition.

Cuadrado was part of the Colombia national team during their Copa America campaign that ended at the quarter-final stage following a penalty shoot-out defeat to Argentina.
