Chelsea have finished the marking of Spanish left-back Marc Cucurella, the club have affirmed.
Cucurella started his vocation at Barcelona, getting through the young positions prior to acquiring his most memorable expert agreement in 2016. He just showed up for the Catalan monsters, investing the greater part of his energy at the Camp Nou in the B group or out borrowed. In 2020, he was offered to Getafe on an extremely durable premise. One year on, he came to England, getting paperwork done for Brighton and Hove Albion on a five-year contract for around £15 million. The Spaniard was a moment hit at the AMEX Stadium, winning the Seagulls' Player of the Season in his presentation crusade.
This late spring, the 24-year-old has been on the radar of various top clubs. Manchester City were firmly connected, however were hesitant to follow through on the asking cost, while a re-visitation of Barcelona was likewise referenced. Be that as it may, presently he has tracked down his next objective, as Chelsea have reported his landing in Stamford Bridge. The arrangement is accepted to merit an underlying £55m with £7m in additional items. In the mean time, Levi Colwill is supposed to head the other way borrowed.
The Blues had a disappointing effort last break. They completed third in the Premier League, however neglected to support a reasonable title challenge. In the mean time, they left the Champions League in the quarter-finals to Real Madrid, and lost both homegrown cup finals to Liverpool on punishments.
They've been occupied this move window, getting any semblance of Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly among others. The catch of Cucurella takes their mid year costs up to around £160m, making them the Premier League's top spenders. Also, they may not be finished there. They had an offered dismissed for Leicester City's Wesley Fofana, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has likewise been connected. The last option would possibly fill a hole in Thomas Tuchel's side, as they are as of now deficient with regards to a top-class goalscorer.
Aubameyang and Tuchel worked with one another at Borussia Dortmund, where the striker delighted in one of the most productive spells of his vocation. The German would not remark on any hypothesis.
Cucurella might need to rival England global Ben Chilwell for minutes in the left-wing-back position, despite the fact that he is likewise fit for playing as a middle back in a back three. His appearance drives Marcos Alonso and Emerson further down the dominance hierarchy, and almost certainly, both will be sold this mid year.
