Big big news! £50M valued Chelsea target hands in transfer request to force summer move
According to latest reports, Marc Cucurella, a transfer target for Chelsea and Man City, reportedly submitted a transfer request in an effort to depart Brighton this summer.
However, After a second strong year at Brighton the previous year, Cucurella has been a player who is expected to join one of the major clubs this transfer window, and rumors about his future have only grown.
Since Marcos Alonso wants to quit the team and return to Spanish football in order to team up with Barcelona, it is no secret that Chelsea is a huge fan of the player and sees him as the ideal replacement.
Man City has also been mentioned since they decided to sell Oleksander Zinchenko last week. According to sources, Brighton rejected a £30 million deal from the Premier League champions for Cucurella since it is believed they are seeking £50 million.
The former Getafe player has submitted a transfer request in an effort to expedite a potential transfer to the Premier League winners, as Fabrizio Romano stated in the initial story.
But according to Sky Sports News, Brighton’s position on maintaining their valuation for the 24-year-old has not changed as a result of the news.
