The amount of money spent by the new leadership of the Chelsea It amounts to over a billion euros, and much of that amount seems to have been wasted, due to the performance of the team. Pochettino. Furthermore, the Argentine coach has left aside some players who cost a real fortune, and one of them is looking for a way out.
Los Blues They paid 65 million pounds to Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022 for Marc Cucurella, the Spanish full-back who had been a revelation in the competition at that time. However, Injuries did not allow him to settle at Chelsea, and Pochettino’s decision to put Chilwell as the starter at left back, has relegated it to the bank.
Cucurella has been looking for a way out of Chelsea for some time, but according to the latest information coming from Europe, he would have finally decided to seek a future back in his native Spain.
And although There are several clubs interested, There are also some important obstacles that would complicate your exit from the Blues and his return to top-level football, which will have to be resolved in the coming months and before the summer transfer market.
Clubs interested in Cucurella
Spanish media claim that there are multiple LALIGA teams interested in signing Marc Cucurella. Among the options that the Spanish side is considering is the interest of Atlético de Madrid, Betis, Getafe, Girona, Real Sociedad and Valencia. At the time there was also talk of the interest of Real Madridbut today it does not seem to be a priority for Ancelotti.
For now, A transfer to any of these clubs would only be feasible through a loan. since they are far from being able to pay what Chelsea paid to get him from Brighton.
Still, getting rid of Cucurella’s salary bill would be positive for Chelsea, in case the player is not going to be used by Pochettino. This would alleviate the complex situation that the club will go through with Financial Fair Play next season.
The obstacles for the Spaniard to leave Pochettino’s Chelsea
There is talk of the need for a transfer because Cucurella still has a contract with Chelsea for a long time, until 2028, and that will be one of the most complicated issues for his full-time transfer to a club in the first division of Spanish football.
The other problem is his salary, since Chelsea would have to take over part of his contract if he goes out on loan. In this case, the London club is expected to put a purchase obligation clause towards the club that acquires it on loan.
With the Chelsea shirt, Cucurella has only played 45 games in these two seasons, and only 12 in the current campaign, in which the majority of his appearances have been from the substitute bench.
