Chelsea have no recall clause in Cuadrado’s Juventus deal

Chelsea did not insert a recall clause in Juan Cuadrado’s three-year loan deal with Juventus, reports The Daily Mail.

Cuadrado, 28, was tipped to be a key player for new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte at the start of the season but failed to make any impression on the Italian during pre-season before returning to Juventus.

The Colombia international re-joined Juventus on an unusual three-year loan deal with a mandatory right to make the switch permanent at the end of that period.

Conte was in attendance to watch Juventus’ 1-0 win over Inter at the weekend in which Cuadrado netted a stunning winner, but while that may have caught the attention of Conte, he will not be able to recall the versatile wideman if he wanted to.

Cuadrado has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter for Max Allegri at the start of the season and his future was in doubt at one stage of the campaign before talks with the Juventus manager.

The former Fiorentina wideman has started 10 league games fro Juventus this season, while making a further seven appearances from the bench. Of players to have made at least 100 starts in the last five Serie A campaigns no player requires fewer minutes per successful dribble than Cuadrado (1 every 26.7 mins).
