Cucurella’s move to Chelsea is imminent.
[골닷컴] Reporter Choi Dae-hoon = The transfer of Mark Cucurella (Brighton & Hove Albion FC) to Chelsea, who shook the Premier League last season, is imminent. Cucurella is said to be living in London and conducting medical tests with Chelsea.
On the 5th (Korean time), reporter Fabrizio Romano, who is influential in the transfer market, said through his SNS, “Cucurella is located in London as expected from yesterday and is currently undergoing medical tests at Chelsea. When the paperwork is complete, I will join Chelsea.”
Reporter Romano used his trademark ‘Here we go!’ on the 4th to announce that Cucurella’s transfer to Chelsea was completed. According to his reports, Chelsea have invested more than £50m in the signing of Cucurella, which also involves sending their prospect Levi Kolwill to Brighton.
However, Brighton insisted on their official social media account that “the club has not reached an agreement with any club to sell Cucurella.” Reporter Romano then maintained a confident attitude as if his report was not false, saying in their official statement, “We will see who lied.” did.
It is known that Coulwill is leaving for Brighton instead of Cucurella going to Chelsea. The two contracts are being dealt with separately, but the official announcement is being delayed as Colwill refuses to transfer completely and insists only on loan. Initially, Colwill was likely to move to Brighton with a buy-back clause, but it seems that he turned to loan due to Colwill’s stubborn refusal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have announced new jersey numbers for their squad for the upcoming 2022/23 season, but Colewill’s numbers are not here. Reporter Romano said: “Colwill was not given a number because he would leave Chelsea and move to Brighton as part of his Cucurella contract.
According to Romano’s insistence, the transfer of Cucurella is expected to be announced soon, as long as the details of Colwill are coordinated. It is known that the personal agreement between Cucurella and Chelsea has already been completed, and medical tests are underway.
