Calciomercato.com note Samp are renegotiating his contract to include a €25m release clause.

Chelsea might have difficulty convincing him, as Colombia international teammates Juan Cuadrado and Radamel Falcao have not enjoyed their time in London.

Sampdoria would also want more than €15m for the forward who is just starting to find his form.
