Chelsea may bid farewell to Cucurella this summer.

Details: According to CaughtOffside, incoming Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca has already started mapping out his transfer campaign for the upcoming summer.

Reports indicate that Maresca is currently in talks with Chelsea’s 27-year-old left-back Marc Cucurella, with whom he previously worked at Chelsea. Maresca believes Cucurella would be a perfect fit for his new squad.

Chelsea are skeptical about letting Cucurella go, especially to one of their top rivals, but if the player himself pushes for the move, keeping him could prove difficult.

This season, Cucurella has made 50 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 1 goal and providing 4 assists. His current contract with the “Blues” runs until 2028, and his transfer value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €50 million.
