The Colombian winger has been heavily linked with a move away from the Serie A club since his impressive displays at the World Cup in Brazil.
Manchester United attempted to sign the 26-year-old during the summer, while Chelsea joined the race last week.
It looked as though Cuadrado was on his way to Stamford Bridge after he attended the Blues' 1-1 League Cup draw at Liverpool, but Montella claims there's 'no possibility' he will leave.

There is no possibility for him to leave Fiorentina
The former Udinese man is understood to have a £25m buy-out clause in his contract at Los Viola, with recent reports suggesting Chelsea tabled a bid £5m short of that.
Montella said: "As far as I know there is no possibility for him to leave Fiorentina.
"He isn't really concerned by all this talk. Sometimes these situations are taken all out of proportion."
