Juan Cuadrado’s farewell to Juventus is official
Juan Cuadrado and Juventus are officially saying goodbye. It was the Bianconeri club itself that announced it on its official website. Here is the text of the statement.
“314 times we fought together, winning 11 trophies. 26 times we saw him exult, with his unmistakable dance. 59 times it was he who gave the joy of goal to his teammates. Today, after an eight-season long journey, the time has come for goodbyes. Juan Cuadrado is leaving Juventus. It has been eight rich, special, unforgettable years. Year after year, Panita has been one of the certainties from which to start again. In any role, with any form, with any jersey number on his back. They have been eight years full of joys, of constant growth and daily work, but also of smiles, of positive energy brought into the locker room and into our world, of dances, jokes and enthusiasm. This is how Juan won over the fans, in a unique and special way, becoming a reference on and off the field. It has been eight years of drunken dribbling, plays that turn games and sometimes seasons upside down. Impossible not to think of the goal in the Derby della Mole on October 31, 2015, his first in bianconero and the one that started the comeback to the Scudetto after a very difficult start. It has been eight years of goals. The one already mentioned in the derby, the first of the four scored against Toro in his career, but how can we not recall the jewels against Lyon and Inter? Or the one-two against the Nerazzurri in the 2020/21 season? The unforgettable moments have been so many and every fan has his own special memory related to his adventure. Even this year, at the last ball, he was able to make his contribution, collecting 47 appearances and celebrating 300 quota in bianconero. A milestone that allowed him to become even more part of Juventus history. In his case more than ever, however, the numbers tell only part of this special story. The rest, the emotions, remain indelible in each of us. Thank you for everything, Panita!”
As it is written in the statement, the 35-year-old Colombian midfielder has made 314 appearances and scored 26 goals among all competitions with the Bianconeri jersey, He had previously played at Udinese from 2009 to 2011, at Lecce one year and at Fiorentina from 2012 to January 2015, then spent seven months at Chelsea before landing in August 2015 at Juventus, with whom he won five league titles in a row from 2016 to 2020, four Italian Cups from 2016 to 2018 and in 2021, and two Italian Super Cups in 2018 and 2020.
