Chelsea consider Cucurella as replacement for Marcos Alonso

Chelsea have something to think about regarding their defense. Many of their current defenders are coming to the end of their contracts this summer or next year. The most obvious worry is Rudiger, who is sought after by Real Madrid. 

Christensen and Azpilicueta will also be free agents in a few months, with Barcelona tracking them closely. Marcos Alonso however is in a slightly different position, as he will reach the end of his contract in 2023.  

Faced with this decision and with the mindset of not renewing his contract, the Spaniard could be leaving the current holders of the Champions League. Understanding this, Chelsea are already considering a current Premier League player as his replacement. 

'Goal' have reported that the team lead by Thomas Tuchel would have noted Brighton´s Marc Cucurella. He is a key player for the Seagulls, with proof of this being 20 starts in the 22 games he has played in so far.

The player bought from Getafe has transitioned smoothly into English football and his actions have garnerd the interest of the London giants. He is thought to be worth around 30 million euros in today´s market.
