The Chelsea sporting directors are “open” to selling either Marc Cucurella or Ben Chilwell this summer. The briefings started before the Euros and went on throughout.

More than that, it appears that they would be willing to sell one of them for the right price. In addition to providing us with a possible financial boost from FFP, it would enable us to purchase a less expensive replacement whose cost would be spread out over the duration of their contract.

It’s possible that those in control believe they already have that successor on the books because of their plans for Renato Veiga, who can play in that position. If so, it would be wise to sell one of the left backs to raise cash for other uses.

Not likely The intriguing circumstances behind EurostarThis adds to the intrigue surrounding Marc Cucurella’s predicament. Despite not having participated in any competitive games for Spain before to this tournament, he ended up taking center stage. After helping to set up the game-winning goal in the finale, he was included in most experts’ “best XI.”

After a strong performance in Germany, we would anticipate that to be increased, but it’s still

Do we sell him while he’s still playing well, or do we hold out hope that next season at Stamford Bridge, under Enzo Maresca, he can slightly duplicate this form? On that front, the coming weeks will be very interesting.
