Antonio Conte wants Chelsea to bring Juan Cuadrado back from Turin for next season.
The Colombia winger is on a season-long loan with Juventus, which are keen to make the deal permanent.
However, former Juve coach Conte, who was confirmed as new Chelsea manager yesterday, has insisted he wants Cuadrado added to the squad for next season.
For his part, Cuadrado will need some convincing as he is settled in Turin and has been expecting to sign outright with Juve before Christmas.
Initial soundings from Conte have been met with a negative response from Cuadrado, but the new Blues boss isn't giving up.
