Manchester United is in talks with Chelsea about signing Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are willing to let Marc Cucurella join Manchester United if their loan fee and wage requirements are met.
Manchester United have been looking for interim solutions following Luke Shaw’s injury and Tyrell Malacia’s own injury problems.
In recent days, United have been linked with various left-backs, with Cucurella being the most prominent name.
Cucurella wishes to join Manchester United
Marc Cucurella, according to the Spanish publication Marca, wants to join Manchester United and is in talks with the club.
According to the report, Cucurella is’very close’ to joining the Red Devils, with the two teams negotiating a deal.
The most expensive left-back in history
Cucurella was the most expensive left-back in world football history when Chelsea paid £62 million for his services last season.
The fee surpassed Chelsea’s previous outlay on Ben Chilwell and Manchester City’s million outlay on Benjamin Mendy.
The Cucurella agreement would make it easier to leave
Marca adds that Cucurella joining Machester United would allow Alvaro Fernandez, 20, to leave the club.
Fernandez was on the bench for United at the weekend, but Cucurella’s arrival would push him down the pecking order.
According to the article, three Spanish clubs are interested in loaning Fernandez out: Granada, Las Palmas, and Getafe.
