Marc Cucurella is already officially a new Getafe player. The former Barcelona youth squad has been loaned this season in the Azulón team, which in the end has decided to exercise the purchase option they had. Madrileños they will pay 10 million euros to keep 90% of the Catalan pass. Initially, the purchase option reflected paying 6 and leaving 40% of your property to FC Barcelona, but in the end they have paid 4 more for 90.
Barça, therefore, is going to save a 10% that will be in cash if the Getafenses sell Alella. Those from the south of Madrid already informed the Catalans of their intentions to stay at ‘Cucu’ months ago, but they have waited until the end to do so. The purchase option expired this June 30, so they have rushed, but in the end they have not hesitated to have a footballer who is getting away with this campaign.
Cucurella was being until the break one of the great revelations of LaLiga. The laneman, who with Bordalás has played above all extreme or interior, has been one of the best in Getafe until March. After the return of football, neither he nor any of his teammates is giving the level, but nobody doubts how great a player that is. The Geta has made a spectacular purchase at a very low price for what is paid today.
The sale of Barcelona, on the other hand, is not as good as it should have been. The Catalans inexplicably agreed in the summer a very low purchase option, of only 6 ‘kilos’. But if that were not enough, the Barcelona fans have allowed the azulones to keep 30% more than agreed, paying only four million more. In summary, business is not good no matter where you look and you should have gotten more out of itl.
The Cucurella season in the Coliséum is like to sell you for not less than 15 ‘kilos’. In fact, it is said that there are European clubs that are willing to pay Geta 15-20 million for it. If this ends up happening, it will be clear that Barça has failed with this operation. Also, in strictly sporting terms it doesn’t seem like a good deal getting rid of the lane either, as it might have been helpful in the first team.
Cucurella could have been a great relay from Alba
Junior Firpo does not finish settling and Alella’s could be the solution the squad needed for that left side. Jordi Alba needs a substitute of guarantees for now, but also a relay for a couple of years, when it is no longer at its maximum level. The one from L’Hospitalet is already 31 years old and at most one or two remain ahead at a high level. Firpo should be his substitute, but he does not convince and by characteristics Cucurella is more similar to the ex of Valencia. However, that assumption will never happen, since ‘Cucu’ will continue his career in Madrid.
