'No.' The blunt answer new Chelsea target Marc Cucurella provided when asked by Spanish media about a call with Man City manager Pep Guardiola.
A simple one word answer like that is enough evidence for new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly to make his own move in trying to convince the Seagulls star that the short relocation from Sussex to West London would be his best next move in his career. Chelsea are currently in talks with Denzel Dumfries and Wesley Fofana in a transfer swoop which could cost them around £120million but the left-side is also an area of concern for the Blues.
This is because as Barca president Joan Laporta hinted in a recent interview, both Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are still targets that will now be pursued by the Blaugrana, especially now that newest recruit Jules Kounde has his presentation at the Camp Nou on Monday. As a result the Blues, like they have done with Malang Sarr amid Fulham rumours, will block Alonso's passage to Spain until a suitable replacement has been found.
