Winger Juan Cuadrado has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract extension at Juventus, the Serie A champions have confirmed.
The 31-year-old Colombia international joined Juve initially in August 2015, in the first of two consecutive season-long loans from Chelsea.
The former Fiorentina man has 15 goals and 28 assists in Juve colours, although he has generally been more concerned with defensive duties this season.
Injury problems forced Maurizio Sarri to field Cuadrado as a full-back, and the majority of his 14 appearances in all competitions this term have come on the right-hand side of defence.
“I am very happy and excited to continue my story with Juventus,” Cuadrado told the club’s official YouTube channel.

“I am very happy with what I have done, and I have truly learned a lot. I want to continue improving on the tactical aspect; I still have a lot of work to do on it and I hope to be a more complete defensive player.
