Vincenzo Montella insists that the Colombian will not be leaving Fiorentina cheaply.
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella has insisted that his side will not be selling star winger Juan Cuadrado for any less than his £26.8 million Florence buyout clause, report the Mail, after Chelsea made their interest in signing the Colombian clear by launching an initial £20 million offer for the flying wide man.

Stamford Bridge chief Jose Mourinho seems keen to bring in some reinforcements in the attacking midfield positions, with one or both of Mohamed Salah and Andre Schurrle looking likely to leave the club during January, a situation that can only have been exacerbated by his side’s shock FA Cup defeat to Bradford City at the weekend.
Cuadrado appears to be the man that Mourinho has pinpointed as his man, but Fiorentina are not keen on losing a player who has emerged as their primary attacking threat in the last couple of seasons, with Montella insisting that it will take the full £26.8m release clause that is in Cuadrado’s contract if they are to sell.
