“I think he will be the next play to leave”….Chelsea set to get rid of unwanted player
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The left-back situation at Chelsea, once a stronghold with the likes of Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella, Lewis Hall, and Ian Maatsen vying for minutes, has now evolved into a complex conundrum. The departure of Hall and Maatsen, albeit temporarily with potential permanent moves, has left a void, and the uncertainty surrounding Cucurella adds further complications.
Caughtoffside’s recent report suggests that Chelsea is actively exploring options to part ways with Cucurella, signaling potential instability in the left-back department. Cucurella, with aspirations of returning to La Liga where he made a name for himself before joining Brighton in the Premier League, is reportedly open to a move.
However, the stumbling block lies in financial negotiations. Chelsea’s significant investment in acquiring Cucurella makes it challenging to secure a deal that aligns with the club’s valuation. The report indicates that even football giants like Barcelona or Real Madrid might struggle to meet Chelsea’s demands, leaving the prospect of a move to other La Liga teams as a more feasible option. A potential solution in the short term could involve loaning out Cucurella and possibly subsidizing a portion of his wages.
Despite recent injury concerns, Cucurella has resumed training, adding another layer of complexity to Chelsea’s decision-making process in the final months of the campaign. The strategic moves the club chooses to make in resolving this left-back puzzle will undoubtedly shape the dynamics of their defensive lineup moving forward.
