Arsenal fail with £17.6m bid for former Chelsea winger

 

Juventus have rejected a £17.6m bid from Arsenal for former Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado and will not entertain any offers south of £30m, reports The Sun.

 

Alexis Sanchez is expected to leave Arsenal the summer and Arsene Wenger already appears to have identified Cuadrado as a potential replacement for the Chile international,.

 

Cuadrado has often struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular for Juventus during his two years at the club but benefited from a change in formation that saw the Serie A champions finish last season in a 4-2-3-1 system.

 

However, Juventus are reportedly open to selling the Colombia international this summer but have put a £30m price tag on his head.

The 29-year-old only made 13 league appearances during a disastrous six month stint at Chelsea before joining Juventus on an initial two-year loan deal in 2015.

 

In the last two Serie A campaigns only Paulo Dybala (159) completed more dribbles for Juventus than Cuadrado (117).
