Report: Juan Cuadrado close to new Fiorentina deal

Juan Cuadrado is reportedly close to signing a new long-term deal with Fiorentina which could end speculation surrounding his future.

The right-sided midfielder was strongly linked with a move to both Barcelona and Manchester United in the summer following an excellent World Cup for Colombia.

However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the 26-year-old now wants to remain in Italy and is close to putting pen to paper on a new contract.

It is believed that Cuadrado's new deal will still include a buy-out clause in the region of £30m.
