Juan Cuadrado joined from Fiorentina for £23.3m in February

Chelsea's Juan Cuadrado has signed a season-long loan deal with Serie A champions Juventus after almost seven months at the Premier League club.

The 27-year-old Colombia international joined the Blues for £23.3m from Fiorentina in February but made only 15 appearances, including four starts.

His move comes after Chelsea signed Spain winger Pedro from Barcelona for £21.1m on Thursday.

Winger Cuadrado has also played in Italy for Lecce and Udinese.

The 2014 World Cup star was greeted by fans on his arrival in Turin on Monday night and signed a contract after successfully completing a medical on Tuesday.

Chelsea also confirmed German Marko Marin has joined Turkish side Trabzonspor on a season-long loan, with an option to make the move permanent.

The 26-year-old joined Chelsea in 2012 from Werder Bremen and was a member of the squad which won the 2013 Europa League, but has had limited opportunities since.

Marin - who has made just two Premier League starts for Chelsea - has had loan spells at Sevilla, Fiorentina and Anderlecht.
