🚨 Chelsea are pleased with the overall outcome of Marc Cucurella's £51.8m exit given, we are told, he let them know he was interested in returning to his homeland for family reasons. Jorrel Hato's development last season was a contributing factor in sanctioning the sale, and Valentin Barco is in line to arrive from Strasbourg.
