Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has played down reports suggesting that he wants to sign Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado.
It was claimed on Wednesday that the Blues had already opened talks with the Colombia international over a move to Stamford Bridge.
However, Mourinho has insisted that the 26-year-old is not a part of his plans for the future.
"There are no men marked," he told reporters. "He's a Fiorentina player. You ask me 20 names, if I don't know them, trouble. My son knows them! It's my job. I think he fits well in Fiorentina squad, and Colombia squad, not in Chelsea squad."
Following reports of Chelsea's interest in Cuadrado, Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella claimed that the player would not be leaving the Serie A club.
