Juan Cuadrado has rejoined Juventus on a three-year loan from Chelsea, who on Wednesday signed left-back Marcos Alonso from Fiorentina.

Juventus on Wednesday announced Cuadrado had joined on loan until June 2019 for an annual fee of 5million euros (£4.25m), with the option for the deal to be made permanent for 25m euros (£21.25m). The 28-year-old spent last season on loan with the Turin side.

The terms of the deal take Cuadrado to the end of the four-and-a-half-year contract he signed on joining Chelsea in February 2015.

Alonso and Cuadrado were team-mates for one season at Fiorentina but the Colombia winger returns to Serie A and is back with Juventus on the day Alonso moved to Stamford Bridge.

A Chelsea statement read: "Cuadrado played in the League Cup final win over Tottenham in March 2015 and in 12 of the Premier League title-winning matches that season.

"Having helped Colombia finish third in the Copa America this summer, Cuadrado returned to Chelsea to take part in the pre-season games but was not involved in our opening league or cup matches.

"We thank Juan for his contribution to our success in two competitions and wish him the best for his loan in Italy."
