The English club began to follow the Spanish defender
Newcastle added to the transfer list for the Spanish summer off-season Chelsea defender Mark Cucurello.
The club believes that the signing of the defender of the Londoners will strengthen the team before the start of the new season. The initiator of the transfer is the sports director of Newcastle, who is personally acquainted with Mark.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino does not see the Spaniard as an important player in the team. The specialist is ready to release the defender to another club. Chelsea are ready to sell Mark for 30 million euros.
The Spaniard’s contract with Chelsea runs until 2028. Cucurella has made 33 appearances for the Pensioners this season in all competitions, in which he has provided two assists. In addition to Chelsea, Mark played for Barcelona, Eibar, Getafe and Brighton.
Newcastle are fourth in the Premier League table and will play in the Champions League next season. Chelsea finished twelfth in the standings.
In the first round of the new season, the team of Ukrainian Mykhailo Mudrik will play with Liverpool, while Newcastle will face Aston Villa.
