Antonio Conte has told Chelsea not to sell Juan Cuadrado to Juventus and wants to make the Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan one of his first signings when, as expected, he takes over the club in the summer.
...
Cuadrado, who has suggested in the recent past that he would prefer to remain in Italy rather than return to London, joined Chelsea in the 2015 January transfer window in a £23.3m deal from Fiorentina but looked far from comfortable under José Mourinho, making 14 appearances but starting only four of them and scoring no goals. Last summer, he was loaned out to Juventus, where he has recaptured his form and has played a huge part in the Bianconeri’s resurgence to go back to the top of the league after an indifferent start.

Conte, in fact, was keen to sign the 27-year-old when he was in charge of the Turin club but was unable to do so and that was one of the reasons he left at the end of the 2013-14 season, despite having won three consecutive Serie A titles. Juventus are desperate to sign Cuadrado on a permanent deal but there is no buy-out clause in the contract that took the Colombian on loan to Italy, so Juve will be unable to sign him on a permanent transfer if Chelsea decide to keep him.

The vaults still condemn you.

Appears to be doing pretty well at Juve!

Mourinho never really seemed to trust him, too much of a flair player for him really, so will be good to see if Conte can get him to thrive here.

But there are plenty of good players that dispite their skill couldn't quite make it work for them in the premier league. Diego Forlan won the Golden Ball at World Cup 2010 yet the only real impression he made at United was his glorious abs and a heartwarming keeness to show them off at any opportunity.

As for Cuadrado, his hair alone makes me like him!
