Surprise at Cuadrado agreement with Pisa as free agent
In a genuine surprise, former Juventus, Inter and Atalanta winger Juan Cuadrado has reportedly agreed to join Serie A newcomers Pisa as a free agent.
According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, the Colombia international has accepted terms for a one-year contract.
He turned 37 in May and will therefore be reaching the age of 38 when the season comes to a close.
Valencia had also been interested, but the player wanted to continue his career in Serie A.
Cuadrado a surprising new arrival for Pisa
Pisa earned promotion by finishing second in Serie B behind Sassuolo last term and are now under the guidance of coach Alberto Gilardino.
The wide forward was a free agent after his one-year contract with Atalanta was allowed to expire in June.
Cuadrado has been in Italian football since leaving Independiente Medellin for Udinese in 2009.
Going on to represent Lecce, Fiorentina, Chelsea and Juventus, he moved to Inter for free in 2023 and contributed to their Scudetto victory.
He then joined Atalanta for free and somewhat struggled for regular playing time with La Dea.
In his career, Cuadrado has amassed 395 Serie A appearances, scoring 43 goals and contributing 69 assists.
There were also 67 Champions League matches, 19 in the Europa League and 36 in the Coppa Italia.
