Enrique ‘wants Cuadrado at Barca’

Luis Enrique is said to have insisted that Barcelona sign Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado this summer.

Mundo Deportivo report that Barca face competition for the Colombia international from Manchester United, who is one of the requests of new manager Louis van Gaal.

Barca are said to see Cuadrado as a long-term replacement for right-back Dani Alves, despite Cuadrado often playing further forward.

Enrique is a big fan, MD claim, and despite the transfer being described as ‘complicated’, wants his club to push it through.

The versatility that allows Cuadrado to play anywhere on the right-hand side is part of what attracts Enrique, it’s believed.
