However, Marc Cucurella’s debut with Chelsea on August 4 had to be postponed. Brighton club realized the desire of the Stamford Bridge team’s partner, so it sought to raise the transfer price.

It was because Brighton let Chelsea “bite the hook” in the Marc Cucurella deal and made the London team finally accept to spend an additional £ 55 million in guaranteed transfer money and £ 7 million for added values. In total, this deal “The Blues” must spend up to 62 million pounds. A price that is considered very high for a rising player.
Besides, Chelsea also had to loan Brighton defender Levi Colwill for a season to replace Marc Cucurella.
Meanwhile, Chelsea fans are pressuring the team’s leadership to convince captain Cesar Azpilicueta to extend until June 2024 to “cut off” Barcelona.
