Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, a 25-year-old left-back from Spain, has not quite hit his stride since his whopping £63 million transition from Brighton and Hove Albion back in the summer of 2022. Rumors circulating from Fichajes hint at a potential move for him from Stamford Bridge to the Spanish outfit Sevilla in the coming month. However, the uncertainty looms over whether both clubs can strike a deal on the transfer fee. Chelsea recognizes that they won’t likely recuperate the hefty sum they initially paid for the defender and are contemplating whether they’d greenlight his departure at a more reasonable price.
Sevilla finds themselves in dire need of bolstering their defense, and Cucurella could emerge as a valuable addition to their roster. Given his prior displays of skill in the Premier League, there’s no denying his potential as a reliable asset for the Spanish side. A shift away from Chelsea might just be the catalyst Cucurella requires to rebuild his confidence and return to peak performance. Moreover, with options like Chilwell and Maatsen available, Chelsea could potentially approve Cucurella’s exit provided an enticing offer is put forth.
Presently sidelined due to injury, the defender anticipates a return to action come February. Should the transfer materialize, Sevilla pins their hopes on Cucurella becoming a pivotal figure in their first-team setup for the rest of the season.
