The Spanish full-back is reportedly a candidate to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, according to a new report from Di Marzio’s Nath Gissing.
Cucurella, 25, has struggled since leaving Brighton and Hove Albion for £65 million (TM) last summer, and his future is once more in doubt.
Despite the fact that the Chelsea number 32 played a significant amount for the Londoners last season, Ben Chilwell’s place in the starting lineup was mostly due to the Englishman’s two hamstring ailments, which held him out for a total of 15 games (TM).
With Chilwell now back and performing well during pre-season, it looks like the former Leicester City man will be Mauricio Pochettino’s first-choice left-back next season and beyond.
So for Cucurella, who has continually failed to justify his price tag, a summer transfer away in order to restart his stagnating career seems like the most favourable outcome for all parties.
