As per a report in the Daily Mail, Chelsea are now exploring the option of signing the Spaniard. The report claims that the Blues see him as a replacement for Marcos Alonso.
Brighton are aware of the interest in Cucurella and have slapped a £50 million price tag on the player. The side rejected Manchester City’s £35 million bid for the left-back and the Cityzens have not returned with a better offer.
The report adds that Cucurella has handed in a transfer request and has his mind set on a move to the Etihad. However, Pep Guardiola’s side, who see him as the backup to Joao Canceloare, are yet to make a move.
Manchester City sold Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal earlier last month after the Gunners matched their asking price. They are light in the full-back department and are looking to improve their options before the summer transfer window ends.
