Chelsea have reached an agreement with Marc Cucurella on personal terms ahead of a potential switch to Stamford Bridge this summer. That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims the Brighton defender is prepared to accept a move to Stamford Bridge once the clubs agree on a transfer fee.
The reporter adds that discussions are set to continue between the Blues and the Seagulls in order to get a deal over the line. Should the move be completed, it would mark some swift business from new owner Todd Boehly, with talks over the Spaniard only being revealed on Monday.
Reports have claimed that Chelsea are more willing to meet Brighton's £50million price tag for the 24-year-old, with Premier League champions Manchester City interested, but unwilling to match that valuation. The transfer interest comes after an impressive debut season in England for Cucurella.
