Chelsea news and transfers recap: Fofana hint, Cucurella agreed, Chukwuemeka steal.
Chelsea news and transfers recap: In the last few hours, heightened negotiations between Chelsea and Brighton regarding the acquisition of Brighton fullback Marc Cucurella, who is 24 years old, have resulted in increased momentum for the transfer of Marc Cucurella.
Cucurella was a key transfer target for Manchester City during this transfer window; however, Brighton recently terminated talks with City because City was unwilling to increase their bid above £40 million, whereas Brighton values the player at over £50 million. Cucurella was a key transfer target for Manchester City during this transfer window. Manchester City prioritized acquiring Cucurella as one of their top transfer targets during this transfer window.
It would appear that Chelsea is making the most of the situation, as they are planning to hold conversations with both Brighton and Cucurella within the next few hours.
Cucurella is a company that specializes in the production of curd cheese. It appears that the London club is willing to meet Brighton’s requirements. They are also open to including additional players in the offer, such as the highly regarded and up-and-coming center-back Levi Colwill. However, it is unclear whether or not Brighton will accept this proposal.
A couple of days ago, Cucurella had made a transfer request to Brighton. In addition, it was mentioned that Cucurella is not opposed to relocating to Stamford Bridge at this time. There is a possibility that a deal worth fifty million pounds will take place shortly.
Marc Cucurella is a strong defender who is also technically proficient. In the past, he has excelled at the left-back and left-wing-back positions, respectively.
However, he added one more achievement to his resume by playing extraordinarily effectively as a left-sided center-back in a three-person defense for Brighton during the previous season. From his position as the left center back, he was tasked with the one-of-a-kind job of bombing on and overlapping the wing back on the opposite side of the field.
The fact that Chelsea utilizes a three-person defense, in addition to the fact that they would require adding solid cover for Ben Chilwell during significant interest from Barcelona for Marcos Alonso, suggests that this trade is wise for both the club and the player.
