The Colombia international, who joined the Premier League club from Fiorentina in January before returning to the peninsula six months later, has impressed in Turin.
He scored a dramatic late winner against Torino in the Derby della Mole on Saturday and the Bianconeri are reportedly looking to secure him as soon as possible.
Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport have both reported today that the Old Lady are working towards receiving a discount to sign Cuadrado permanently.
The winger is said to have been convinced to stay with Juve, but his buyout fee is currently set at a steep €25m plus bonuses.
Juventus directors Giuseppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici will reportedly work towards lowering the fee, with the hope of having a deal struck in the winter window.
However, a potential pitfall is the possibility of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho being sacked. The Portuguese is under pressure and, although he has let Cuadrado go, a successor may not be so willing.
