Nath Gissing of Di Marzio recently reported that the Spanish full-back is a potential transfer target out of Stamford Bridge this summer.
Cucurella, 25, has struggled since leaving Brighton and Hove Albion for £65 million (TM) last summer, and his future is once more in doubt.
The Londoners’ participation in the Chelsea number 32 in the first team was largely due to Ben Chilwell’s two hamstring injuries, which kept the Englishman out for a total of 15 games (TM).
It appears that Chilwell, a former Leicester City player, will be Mauricio Pochettino’s first-choice left-back for the upcoming season and beyond now that he is back and having a successful preseason.
Therefore, a summer transfer abroad in order to revive Cucurella’s stagnant career appears like the most advantageous result for all parties for the player who has repeatedly failed to live up to his price tag.
