🚨💣 BREAKING: Marc Cucurella deal is signed and sealed
Real Madrid to pay €55m fixed fee plus €5m add-ons as Chelsea allowed medical tests.
Cucurella, new Real Madrid player. 🇪🇸
Here we go, confirmed. ✅
@FabrizioRomano
This is a good deal for Chelsea given Marc Cucurella was increasingly pushing to leave, the fee and he had just two years left on his contract at 27 years old. Without Europe, Jorrel Hato + Valentin Barco is enough to cover his departure.
@NizaarKinsella
Nope, we did not.
We made a book profit of £33m.
And even in terms of fee, it’s a loss of £9m over 4 years. We signed for £62m and sell for £53m.
Unless you buy young, you ain’t making a profit on players generally. Liverpool made huge losses on Konate, Trent & Salah. lol
Maxi Araujo of Sporting is one name I was given as a possible Marc Cucurella replacement a couple weeks back, but there will be other names too. Lewis Hall is who they would really want but I see little chance of that.
@siphillipssport
@bernardooooV3 €55m fixed + €5m add ons..you know he has spent 3-4 years at Chelsea.
Based on this, Chelsea has booked roughly £36.67 million in total amortization over his 4 years at the club, leaving his current book value at approximately £18.33 million.
🚨 Chelsea has started working on a new left back to replace Marc Cucurella. The message from Chelsea is they will go for different players, and new manager Xabi Alonso will get what he wants.

‼️Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are among the clubs chasing Rogers, but it remains to be seen whether or not they will be prepared to meet Villa’s big-money valuation.
