It is claimed that the reigning La Liga champions are stepping up their efforts to sign the Colombian international, of whom manager Diego Simeone is a big fan.
Cuadrado had looked all set for a move to Stamford Bridge this January, but that deal may now be in doubt as other clubs show interest – with Atletico the latest of his many admirers.
Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have also been linked with the 26-year-old in the past, but Atletico now look like the Blues’ main threat to sealing this superb deal.
