Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has shared the story of how Manchester City tried to sign him even before his move to the London club.
Details: In an interview with Informe, Marc Cucurella revealed that the Manchester club looked incredibly attractive at the time, and he was eager to join the Citizens:
“They were on fire, one of the best teams in the world. And when they want you this much, when Guardiola is personally interested, you’re ready to do anything, even get down on your knees. But the clubs couldn’t reach an agreement,” said the Spanish defender.
Only after that did the option with Chelsea arise for the player, where he has now made 132 appearances. During this time, he has scored eight goals and provided eleven assists.
Reminder: Chelsea defender Reece James will not be available for the match against Leeds.
