Chelsea's Juan Cuadrado has pronounced him pleased with reports that Barcelona are the latest of Europe's top sides to express an interest in him.
However he insisted he remained focus on Colombia's forthcoming Copa America fixtures rather than a future that could see end up at one of a number of top European sides.
Cuadrado enjoyed a successful loan spell at Juventus last season, making 28 appearances for the Bianconeri. Massimiliano Allegri is keen to bring the winger back to the Italian champions again but Antonio Conte also intends to give the 28-year-old more opportunities at Stamford Bridge than he received under Jose Mourinho.
For now, though, Cuadrado is only concerned with how Colombia fare in the Copa America Centario, where Jose Pekerman's are third favourites behind Argentina and Brazil.
He said: “It’s nice to hear [about Barcelona reports], but here you do not think about it, only the national team.
“After we will see what happens with my future.”
Juventus claim they have a gentleman's agreement with Chelsea to sign Cuadrado for €22million in the summer, though Conte's willingness to play a 3-5-2 may give the £26m signing from Fiorentina in January 2015 a chance to flourish in his more natural position.
