Chelsea have seemingly moved very fast in an attempt to sign Manchester City target Marc Cucurella today, or at least today is when all the details have been coming out.
The media have clearly been briefed, and it is very certain that Chelsea are advancing in talks to sign the Brighton left back, who seemed destined to be joining City.
Sources: Updates on 8 players who are trying to leave Chelsea this window.
However, Pep Guardiola’s side appear to be put off by his £50m asking price and have seemingly walked away as a result.
The top three sources for general transfer news especially for Chelsea, David Ornstein of The Athletic, Matt Law of The Telegraph, and Fabrizio Romano, are all pretty much in agreement, as our Sky Sports – Cucurella’s move to Chelsea is in the advanced stages. This has moved SO quick!
