The left back saga continues for Chelsea as it looks like one of the main pieces of transfer business that they will be doing when the transfer window does eventually open.
It looks as if both Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri could well end up leaving the club in the summer, with both having failed to nail down a regular starting spot under either of Chelsea’s last two managers.
The player who is touted as a possible replacement is Alex Telles from Porto, with many reports suggesting Chelsea had started negotiations for this deal recently.
A Bola have provided an update on this (via Sport Witness). They claim that Porto are now looking to sign Marc Cucurella from Barcelona to come in an replace Telles this summer, giving Chelsea a boost in their pursuit.
Chelsea have also been linked with Cucurella as well, but Telles is and has always looked like the most likely option to come in for them.
