Chelsea
winger Juan Cuadrado has joined Juventus on a three-year loan deal until
2019, the Italian club have confirmed.
Cuadrado, who spent last year on loan in Turin, will now spend the next
three seasons in Italy on a contract heavily based on incentives.
The loan deal involves a fee of €5m (£4.2m) and includes the option to
purchase Cuadrado permanently for €25m (£21.2) should certain appearances
and results be met during the loan period of three years.
On top of this, Juventus may have to pay Chelsea a further €4m (£3.3m)
should the club achieve "certain sporting results during the player's
contract of employment".
Cuadrado has 56 caps for Colombia and signed for Chelsea following a series
of eye-catching displays during the 2014 World Cup in a transfer worth
£26.1m from Fiorentina.
Since then, Cuadrado has made just four starts for Chelsea, spending last
season on loan with the Old Lady, where he made 40 appearances in all
competitions and scored five goals as Juventus secured a fifth straight
Serie A title.
