Manchester United have begun their scouting of the Colombian despite Arsenal having had a long interest in him.
Cuadrado has been an influential part of Fiorentina’s campaign this season and with 6 goals and 3 assists from his 26 Serie A appearances, he has caught the attention of many major European clubs.
Clubs such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich have reportedly sent scouts to monitor the 25 year-old in the past but recently, Moyes’ side have increased their interest in the winger and have joined the race to capture his signature this summer.
According to talkSport, Cuadrado has an unstable owenership situation and this could potentially boost the interest of the clubs that wish to sign him.
Cuadrado is co-owned by Fiorentina and Udinese, but the two Italian clubs are yet to agree a deal which would see the former buy the latter’s 50% stake.
United, who struggle domestically and are sitting 6th in the table, have been often criticized for their lack of depth in their squad and their wingers leave a lot to be desired. This problem could be solved this summer with the signing of Cuadrado but the transfer is far from close as the Red Devils are yet to make an official bid.
