Chelsea are reportedly expected to complete the signing of Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina within the next 48 hours.
The winger is believed to have a £26.8m buyout clause written into his contract, and the Italian outfit are not prepared to let him go unless that is met.
According to ESPN, Chelsea are yet to meet the release clause, but have agreed personal terms with Cuadrado ahead of a move that could result in Mohamed Salah going the other way.
It is believed that Chelsea will pay £23m up front, with the remainder of the fee being paid in add-ons.
