Israeli Club Offers $3 Million to Juan Cuadrado, Who Declines
An Israeli Premier League club reportedly offered Colombian international Juan Cuadrado a lucrative $3 million contract, which the veteran player has rejected. The 38-year-old winger/right-back is seeking to play in Major League Soccer (MLS) or the Mexican league, according to Colombian journalist Alexis Rodriguez. Cuadrado also turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and has no immediate plans to return to his native Colombia after 17 years abroad.
Cuadrado spent last season with Italian club Pisa, scoring one goal in 19 Serie A appearances. He has had a distinguished career in Europe, playing for Udinese, Lecce, Fiorentina, Chelsea, Juventus for eight years, Inter Milan, Atalanta, and most recently Pisa.
The specific Israeli club that made the offer was not identified in the original report. Meanwhile, Maccabi Tel Aviv has recently signed another prominent right-back, James Tavernier, who is expected to officially join the team soon.
