Juventus have warned Chelsea that the reported impending appointment of Antonio Conte will not affect the club's stance of keeping Juan Cuadrado.
Colombian international Cuadrado is on a season-long loan at Juve and the Italian champions do want to follow through on a gentlemen's agreement to sign the wideman permanently this summer.
According to the Evening Standard, current Italy boss Conte, who is expected to become Chelsea's next full-time boss after Euro 2016, has told the Blues board that he wants Cuadrado back at Stamford Bridge.
However, Juve chief executive Giuseppe Marotta is confident of landing the 27-year-old on a long-term deal.
"The fact Antonio Conte is going to Chelsea just confirms that we made a good choice when we took him from Siena," he said. "I am proud of this and for him.
"But as for Cuadrado? I don't think Conte will influence our decision. We could keep him here."
Chelsea bought the winger from Fiorentina for £26m in last season's winter transfer window but he started just four games before being loaned to Juve last summer.
