Chelsea have secured the services of Juan Cuadrado, according to Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella.
Sky Italia are reporting that the 26-year-old Colombian is still in
Italy but due to fly to London on a private jet on Saturday morning at
7am for talks and a medical at Stamford Bridge.
Fiorentina are
expected to receive £23.33m plus a bonus that amounts to Cuadrado's
£26.34m release clause with Chelsea's out-of-favour forward Mohamed
Salah moving on loan in the opposite direction.
Montella told his club's website on Friday: "It was a sale that had to
be done. The club has done the right thing because we are also getting a
very good player."
"Naturally, we need to understand how long Salah will need to adapt
to our football as it's different from the English and Swiss leagues."
"From
a defensive standpoint, Cuadrado guarantees us a lot more than Salah.
Cuadrado is a player that has always arrived with a smile and given
everything to Fiorentina."
"I am convinced that if he could have played tomorrow he would have. I'm happy for him because he is going to a big club."
