Roma pursued Juan Cuadrado in the past, and they are set to rekindle their interest should he leave Juventus on a free. The contract of the 35-year-old runs out at the end of the season. While the Bianconeri changed their mind about Alex Sandro that was in a similar situation, they have given no inklings in such direction about the Colombian yet.
Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, he’ll be on his way out, barring a late U-turn by the management, as he wouldn’t mind staying in Turin. If that is the case, he’ll be an interesting opportunity for the Giallorossi, which can’t spend much on the transfer market due to the Financial Fair Play restrictions. They’ll be busy on the free agent market.
Roma would address their need for a new right wing-back with Juan Cuadrado. Rick Karsdorp and Zeki Celik haven’t been entirely convincing. The former ultimately stayed after a long saga, but his future will be revisited in the summer. The Old Lady staple wants to spend one or two more seasons in Serie A before a final rich payday in an exotic league.
The capital side is no stranger to going after veterans. They signed Nemanja Matic on a Bosman move once he left Manchester United. Plus, they brought in Georginio Wijnaldum for favorable terms from PSG last summer.
Our Take on Roma and Cuadrado
He’s on his last legs, but it’s a likely landing spot as they could use some help at the position, and their financial woes are well-documented. However, seeing how things are going at Juventus, it wouldn’t be surprising if they wound up keeping him for another campaign.
