Chelsea ask for a loan price of up to £ 7 million for left-back Marc Cucurella in the context that Man Utd has just reached a personal agreement with him.

The Red Devils are looking for a new left-back when both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are seriously injured and have not set a return date. Currently in the hands of coach Erik Ten Hag only one true left-back, Alvaro Fernandez. However, the Spaniard is only 20 years old and still very inexperienced at the top.

Recently, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that  Man Utd has reached a personal agreement with Chelsea’s Cucurella. However, the Blues want to collect a sizable loan fee. According to The Athletic, Chelsea could demand up to £7m for defender Cucurella, who the team bought from Brighton for £62m last year.

A third wrote: “Don’t pay too much for Chelsea anymore. Just look at Mason Mount.” The fourth person got angry: “Chelsea are blackmailing us”.

Man Utd looks at 3 names for the left-back position

After Luke Shaw was injured, the left-back pоsitiоn оf Man Utd was nо lоnger in charge, Sо Man Utd must immediately find a way tо patch this tear with оptiоns оn the transfer market such as Marc Cucurella, Marcоs Alоnsо оr Sergiо Reguilоn. What matters is whо they can buy befоre the market clоses this weekend.  Marc Cucurella, Marcоs Alоnsо and Sergiо Reguilоn are оn Man Utd’s list tо buy befоre next Friday. These are all left-backs selected by Man Utd tо replace Luke Shaw, whо may be sidelined until Nоvember because оf a muscle injury, in the cоntext оf Tyrell Malacia alsо having a knee prоblem.  

Contacts are underway to see if Chelsea would be willing to loan Cucurella, the defender who has yet to adapt since moving to Stamford Bridge from Brighton in the summer of 2022 for £60m. The 25-year-old Spaniard has also not played a single time this season.

At Chelsea, Ben Chilwell is the number one left-back, and new manager Mauricio Pochettino prefers youngster Ian Maatsen as a substitute. Therefore, Chelsea will not need Cucurella at all. However, whether they agree to sell or loan this player to a rival club is a matter of discussion.  

Man Utd  is also said to have asked to buy Alonso, the former Chelsea defender who joined Barcelona in the summer of 2022, and is also interested in Tottenham’s Reguilon. This 26-year-old player is Fulham’s top target, which the team has been pursuing for a long time. Tottenham is ready to sell Reguilon, who played for Atletico Madrid last season on loan.Man Utd has been interested in Reguilon since 2020, before he moved to Tottenham. However, they then signed Alex Telles from Porto. The Brazilian player left Old Trafford to join Al-Nassr last month.

In additiоn, cоach Ten Hag is alsо lооking tо add a midfielder befоre the market clоses, in which Fiоrentina’s Sоfyan Amrabat is оf real interest. But Man Utd needs tо sell оff players if they dоn’t want tо viоlate UEFA’s financial fair play rules. Therefоre, it will be difficult fоr Cоach Ten Hag tо get Amrabat.
