Last summer, Colombia winger Juan Cuadrado played a very impressive game during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where he was instrumental on his team's run to the quarterfinals. After he impressed some of the top European clubs with his top notch performance in Brazil, a lot of clubs were vying to sign him during the January transfer window.

Manchester United and FC Barcelona were the clubs interested for the Colombian winger services, but he always dreamed of joining Chelsea FC. He believes that playing in the club would give him the opportunity to develop to a much better player.
In 2015 January transfer window, he was finally signed at his dream club, Chelsea FC, on a four and a half year deal, for an initial fee of £23.3 million, which could potentially rise to £26.8 million.
However, just like many players in the past, Cuadrado had difficulty time adapting in the Premier League as he just came up with rubbishing performances wearing The Blue's uniform. Although, the Chelsea FC manager Jose Mourinho was always firm in his choices of players, six months of poor showing is enough for the Portuguese tactician to realize the mistake of taking the Colombian winger. Now, he decided to sell the Cuadrado before his value finally drops any further via Bleacher Report.
If Chelsea FC can't manage to dispatch Cuadrado soon, a large portion of his €35 million value will be reduced. Yet, his continuous stay at Stamford Bridge could have probably resulted to another unsuccessful campaign, triggering a shootdown in his price tag.
Cuadrado played 14 times in all competitions for Chelsea FC but didn't make a mark in those games. The fans wondered why the Blue's decided to let go of Andre Shurrle, before spending tons of cash to bring the Colombian winger at Stamford Bridge worth €35 million.
With the summer transfer window still on-going, the Blue's are currently seeking for potential buyers for their, with FC Barcelona being tipped to have a strong interest on the Colombian winger. A return to Italy could also be an option, with Serie A Champions Juventus and Internazionale Milano both reportedly ready to take a gamble to acquire the Colombian, according to ESPN FC.
