After showing some interest months ago. Chelsea now seem more determined to bring Marc Cucurella to the Premier League. The English side are reportedly willing to pay up to 30 million euros, three times what Getafe paid Barca for him.

Frank Lampard's Chelsea are clear that they want to reinforce the left back position in this market. Amid the difficulty of signing Ben Chilwell from Leicester, Chelsea think Cucurella is a good option. 

As 'AS' reports, the Londoners are willing to put around 30 million euros on the table for the full back. A perfect bit of business for Getafe. 

Getafe bought the footballer off Barcelona not long ago and the Catalans got 10 million euros. 

If Cucurella finally signs for Chelsea, Getafe would earn a profit of 20 million euros on the Catalan player.

At 22, Cucurella has improved tremendously under coach Bordalas and he is one of the most reliable full backs in the league. After being on loan for a season at Eibar, this campaign he has played 45 games with Getafe and he still has the Europa League.
