Mourinho prepared to sell Guadrado just six month after £26m move

Chelsea are prepared to sell Juan
Cuadrado this summer just six
months after he joined Fiorentina
from £26.1m.
Cuadrado has struggled to make an
impact at Stamford Bridge since
moving to west London and started
just four League games under
manager Jose Mourinho.
But Cuadrado's problems have not
put clubs off from declaring an
interest with Juventus, Roma and
Inter Milan all keen to bring the
Colombia international back to Serie
A, where he impressed for Udinese
and Fiorentina.
However, so far the only offers that
have been made have either been
loan deals or for a fraction of the
asking price.
Chelsea are making it clear to all
parties that they will not consider
loan agreements or making a loss on
the Colombia international, so there
is still a possibility he will stay.
There has been a lot of speculation
that Cuadrado is also seeking a
return to Italy, but it is understood
Mourinho hasn't spoken with him
since the end of last season.
He will get the chance to do that
when Cuadrado joins Chelsea's pre-
season tour tomorrow in New York
having been given a longer break due
to playing in Copa America.
Chelsea, who are still confident of
signing Everton defender John
Stones, have looked into buying
Barcelona winger Pedro as a
replacement.
