Chelsea will listen to summer offers for £65 million flop

Posted by

Chelsea are reportedly willing to listen to offers for Marc Cucurella.

That’s according to a recent report from Di Marzio’s Nath Gissing, who claims the Spanish full-back is a candidate to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Failing to impress since his £65 million (TM) move from Brighton and Hove Albion last summer, Cucurella, 25, is once again facing an uncertain future.

Although the Chelsea number 32 featured heavily last season, his inclusion in the Londoners’ first-team was largely down to Ben Chilwell’s two hamstring injuries which kept the Englishman sidelined for a total of 15 games (TM).

With Chilwell now back and performing well during pre-season, it looks like the former Leicester City man will be Mauricio Pochettino’s first-choice left-back next season and beyond.

So for Cucurella, who has continually failed to justify his price tag, a summer transfer away in order to restart his stagnating career seems like the most favourable outcome for all parties.

  1. I don’t know how he gets selected in front of Hall,it doesn’t take a top manager to know who is the better player.

    1. Cucurella is not fit for that position than Hall. The manager must decide before a summer transfer last day .

  2. Problem with Chelsea is they never played him in the role Brighton did. He was a breath of fresh air there charging up the pitch and defending well. Also Albion player of the season. In hindsight he should have remained with the Seagulls instead of chasing big bucks. He would have been loved here.
