"Thanks so much to @EASPORTSFutbol for this opportunity and all my fans for their time and support," he wrote in Spanish.
Cuadrado, who signed with Chelsea in January in a contract worth about £26 million ($39 million), has been controversial. During his short tenure at Chelsea, he only was granted four starts. In a shocking poll, Cuadrado beat out other soccer players, such as Sergio Aguero, Edinson Cavani, Claudio Bravo, Jose Rondon, and Carlos Zambrano.
According to ESPN FC, there has been talk that Cuadrado wanted to leave Chelsea but that was quickly shot down. Rumor has it that he was being linked to teams such as Juventus and Valencia.
Alessandro Lucci, the agent of Cuadrado spoke on the situation with Chelsea and his client: "Cuadrado is a Chelsea player who Mourinho wanted strongly. Juan is happy in London and is very likely to stay at Chelsea. Many clubs rate him, but I repeat Juan is a Chelsea player, and his future will be decided by him and me. I hope I've been clear about Juan's future. As I've said, he will decide together with me as an agent and intermediary."
