Chelsea have no intention of selling Marc Cucurella to Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

“Chelsea have no intention of selling Marc Cucurella this summer despite speculation linking the left-back with a move to Saudi Arabia”, per Football London.

The 27-year-old was a key cog in the Chelsea defence this term, earning plaudits after bagging seven goals and four assists.

He would likely compete with Al Nassr’s Nawaf Boushal for a starting berth in the Saudi Pro League.

Cucurella turned the tide after a poor season and a half at Stamford Bridge to become one of the most crucial players in the team.

Chelsea will not be interested in parting ways with the Spaniard, even though they are close to signing Jorrel Hato.

The young Dutch ace will provide competition for Cucurella, who played far too many games for the Blues last term.

Chelsea are rightly reluctant to let Cucurella go, even if the Saudi side might be willing to break the bank this summer.

Meanwhile, Matt Law has revealed that Chelsea are not interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer.

Donnarumma is entering the final year of his PSG contract amid reports he is angling for a move away. He is not keen on signing a new deal with the Parisian giants.

Unsurprisingly, Chelsea’s name entered the frame.

The Blues claim they are okay with Robert Sanchez after his Club World Cup heroics, but it will be difficult to neglect months of mistakes and atrocious kicking.

His poor displays cost Chelsea points during the season.

The fact that Chelsea attempted to sign Mike Maignan shows that the club knows it must add a new goalkeeper to the ranks this summer.

However, Donnarumma will not be the new guardian between the sticks.
