£50M Spaniard informs board he wants to be a Chelsea player this summer!
Spanish defender Marc Cucurella has reportedly told the Chelsea board that he wants to stay and fight for his place in the side next season.
After establishing himself as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League during his time with Brighton – CHELSEA made the move to bring him to Stamford Bridge in a deal that was worth £50 million.
There was alot of hype surrounding the player and his ability – but he has failed to leave a mark on that Chelsea side and According to a recent report on Spanish newspaper Marca, that has prompted Chelsea to try and cut their losses on the defender and it is claimed that he was offered to Atletico Madrid.
According to a recent report from the Evening Standard, Spanish full-back is determined to impress under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Cucurella’s decision to reject a move away from the club highlights his strong belief in his abilities and his determination to prove himself under Mauricio Pochettino’s guidance.
Cucurella was never going to be number one at Stamford Bridge – he was only signed because Ben Chilwell kept getting injured – so he was going to have to get used to sitting on the bench.
We are not surprised to see the Spaniard linked with a move away from London – and we are pretty certain that if the right offer does arrive for the player – then he will be one of the next stars to leave the club.
It is great to see that he wants to stay and prove himself under the new boss – Poch needs players like that at the club – but as we said – we would not be surprised to see him depart Stamford Bridge over the next couple of months.
Right now – CHELSEA are selling to the highest bidder.
