Fiorentina midfielder Juan Cuadrado has told the club that he wants to join Chelsea in the January transfer, according to reports.
The Blues have been linked with a winter move for the Colombian as they look to replace either Mohamed Salah or Andre Schurrle, who have both been tipped to leave the club.
Sky Sports News reports that Chelsea have had an offer of £20.6m turned down and the Serie A side have made it clear that they won't sell him for anything less than his £26.8m buy-out clause.
The report says that talks are still ongoing between the two clubs, with just one week left of the transfer window.
Cuadrado has scored 21 goals in 82 appearances for the club.
