Chelsea transfer news LIVE: Blues near £50m agreement for Cucurella, Fofana £84m price tag, De Jong latest – updates
CHELSEA are on the verge of agreeing a deal with Brighton for £50m defender Marc Cucurella, according to reports.
The Blues have hijacked Man City’s potential move for the Spaniard as Thomas Tuchel continues to look for defensive reinforcements.
The club’s search this summer for a midfielder continues and reports suggest that they could be willing to hijack Manchester United’s Frenkie de Jong deal.
The Red Devils have been chasing De Jong all summer but have failed to persuade the Dutchman to make the switch.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain have joined Chelsea in the battle for Wesley Fofana – with Leicester putting an £84m price tag on their star defender.
