Marc Cucurella’s situation has been getting plenty of coverage in the Spanish media, as the Brighton & Hove Albion player continues to be tempted by an exit this summer.
The Spaniard had mainly been linked with Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola looks to add a fullback to his squad this summer. However, the Blues are now moving to hijack the deal, and Sport say Chelsea ‘enter the scene’ to try and get a deal done.
As it stands, the Premier League champions don’t want to pay the €60m that Brighton are asking for their player, and the situation has allowed Chelsea to move forward.
Sport say Cucurella moving to Stamford Bridge would make a Marcos Alonso exit all the likelier, and help him finally get the switch to Barcelona which has been talked about since before the summer window opened.
