This week, Marc Cucurella\u2019s name has become a standard fixture around transfer market circles as Chelsea began proceedings to sign the Spanish defender.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1d54d78a98a040feb9fe15364c1c23ad\"\/><\/p>\n<p>According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have agreed on personal terms with Marc Cucurella after accelerating their approach for the defender this week. The Brighton &#038; Hove Albion defender, also a target for Manchester City. will accept the contract proposed by the Blues once the two clubs reach a consensus on the final transfer fees.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/78e60aeae8414d4094816cca54f197ef\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Romano has now reported that Chelsea have agreed on personal terms with Cucurella, although the 23-year-old defender has yet to sign the proposed contract offer. He will do so when there is an agreement between the Blues and Brighton over the final transfer fee.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/a22ddfa993b943efb3d648ebf90bb26e\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Reaching an agreement with the Chelsea footballer was quick. Cucurella wants to take advantage of his first great year in the Premier League to sign for a Champions League club. All of that could help Barcelona, indirectly. If Cucurella were to move to Chelsea, the Blues could let Marcos Alonso leave. Alonso is badly wanted by Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Mainooco (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
