West Ham-linked Juan Cuadrado is due to open talks with Juventus about a new contract at the club.
After being linked with moves to both the Hammers and Arsenal over the summer, the Colombian has fallen out of favour under new boss Maurizio Sarri.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, he remains confident about a new deal:
I’m very happy and grateful, I have one year left with Juventus. As soon as I return we have a meeting to see what happens. I’m in the hands of God to make the best decision.
Not only is he out of favour, but he is also expected to play out of position this season in a more defensive wing-back role, so should the Hammers renew their interest and offer him a route out of Turin?

Cuadrado will still feel he has something to offer on a regular basis and if that isn’t going to come at Juventus, then he may want to consider moving on.
The Colombian endured a torrid time in the Premier League with Chelsea, but there could be an opening for him at West Ham.
His experience could be a great tool for the Hammers as they look to break into the top six or seven this season.
Andriy Yarmolenko has come into the side this season upon his return to fitness, but the right-wing spot is one that could be up for grabs over the course of the season.
Felipe Anderson will start on the left but if you were to add Cuadrado’s ability into the mix, Pellegrini would have some great strength in depth to choose from in wide areas.
