AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella is looking to make one of his first transfers a big one as he wants to bring in Juan Cuadrado.

Montella took his place on the Milan bench in late June and set out the objective to get the Rossoneri back into European competition, and hopes a new signing will do just that.

According to Sport Mediaset, the 42-year-old has expressed his interest in Colombian international Cuadrado and has asked the Diavolo’s management to look into a transfer.

Montella knows Cuadrado well after they spent three years together at Fiorentina, before the winger moved on to Chelsea and Juventus while Montella switched to Sampdoria.

Chelsea sent Cuadrado out on loan to the current Serie A champions last season where he managed five goals in 40 games, as well as assisting a further eight.
