Chelsea Prepare New Long-Term Contract for Marc Cucurella

Chelsea want to give Marc Cucurella a new contract. This shows they see the Spanish defender as important for the team’s future. Both the club and player are happy to continue their partnership, despite rumors about transfers and interest from other countries.

CHELSEA SHOW FAITH IN CUCURELLA

Marc Cucurella, 27, will receive a better contract. This comes after his strong performance under new manager Enzo Maresca. Despite a big bid from Al Nassr, Chelsea showed they don’t want to let go of Cucurella. He is considered a vital part of the team. The new deal will extend his contract, which already runs until 2028. It may also come with a salary raise, as recognition for his leadership and skills.

STANDOUT SEASON FOR CLUB AND PLAYER

Last season, Cucurella became one of Maresca’s most trusted players. He helped Chelsea win the UEFA Conference League in May. More success followed in July when they won the Club World Cup. Cucurella made 54 appearances in all competitions, including 36 in the Premier League, scoring seven goals and providing four assists. His adaptability, including stepping into midfield and managing possession well, was important for Chelsea’s style of play. The Blues finished fourth in the league last season and qualified for the Champions League.

LOOKING AHEAD: CHELSEA’S AMBITIONS

The talks for Cucurella’s new deal might finish quickly, possibly before the end of the summer. Chelsea starts the new league season next weekend against Crystal Palace. Chelsea is among the early favorites to win the title, aiming to build on last year’s cup successes. Crystal Palace, their next opponent, finished 12th last season but won the FA Cup beating Manchester City in the final. Securing Cucurella’s future gives Chelsea more stability as they aim for more trophies soon.
