Juventus 'very close' to agreeing new Juan Cuadrado deal

Juventus are reportedly very close to agreeing a new contract with Juan Cuadrado following his impressive start to the season.

The 31-year-old has been converted to a right-back by Maurizio Sarri to great effect, starting the Old Lady's last eight Serie A games.

Such has been his form, Juventus have offered him a new two-year contract, with the club's sporting director Fabio Paratici confirming to Sky Sports Italia after their 1-0 win over AC Milan that talks were well underway.

The Colombian international was heavily linked with a move to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua in the summer after slipping down the pecking order under Massimiliano Allegri.

Cuadrado has scored 15 goals in 150 appearances for Juventus since initially making the move from Chelsea in 2015.
