Manchester United is on the brink of finalizing a loan agreement with Chelsea for left-back Marc Cucurella. The negotiations are in the concluding stages, with the clubs moving towards a loan fee of £3 million after Chelsea rejected an initial £2 million offer.
United’s decision to pursue Cucurella intensified yesterday as he emerged as the best-suited option for their system. With the endorsement of manager Erik ten Hag, the club is determined to expedite the deal’s completion and has halted its pursuit of other left-backs.
Cucurella Set For United:
As reported by MARCA, Manchester United is closing in on securing Marc Cucurella on loan from Chelsea, with discussions leaning towards a loan fee of approximately £3 million.
The urgency to secure Cucurella’s services is heightened by Luke Shaw’s anticipated three-month absence due to injury. Additionally, with Alvaro Fernandez’s expected loan move to Granada, United’s need for a left-back has become paramount.
Throughout their search, Manchester United considered various candidates for the position, including Alfonso Pedraza from Villarreal and Nicolas Tagliafico from Lyon. Ultimately, Cucurella emerged as the preferred choice.
The club is eager to wrap up the deal swiftly, possibly within the day. While Cucurella’s potential arrival addresses United’s left-back requirement, the pursuit of a midfielder remains active, with Sofyan Amrabat occupying a significant spot on the club’s radar.
As the agreement inches closer, Marc Cucurella’s imminent arrival at Manchester United signals a crucial step in shoring up their squad before the transfer deadline.
