Chief executive confirms new manager will not derail ongoing Chelsea deal
ANTONIO CONTE's arrival at Chelsea will not impact Juventus's plans for Juan Cuadrado, chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has claimed.
Juan Cuadrado is reportedly keen on a permanent move to Juventus
Cuadrado is currently on loan with the Serie A side until the end of the season after failing to impress at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho.
Since arriving in Italy, however, the Colombia international has rediscovered his best form and has rebuilt the reputation that earned him a move to Chelsea in January 2015.
But Juve executive Marotta has since claimed Conte's appointment will have no bearing on Cuadrado's future, and the Serie A club will continue to sign him on a permanent basis.
"As for Cuadrado? I don't think Conte will influence our decision - we will try to keep him here," he told Italian publication Tuttosport.
