Chelsea reportedly want a loan fee of £7 million to permit Marc Cucurella move to Manchester United.
The Reds agreed personal terms with Cucurella ahead of a loan switch, however, they must reach an agreement with Chelsea before a deal can materialise.
United were forced to look at left-backs after Luke Shaw’s injury, which could keep the 28-year-old out for three months. Tyrell Malacia is the only other left-back in the squad and he’ll be spending time with Shaw in the treatment room for the foreseeable future.
That is why United targeted Cucurella for a loan move know that he is out of favour at Stamford Bridge.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea are open to a loan but they would want a payment of £7 million to let Cucurella go for the season.
Negotiations are ongoing between the lines, but £7m is a lot of money to pay for a season-long loan.
Cucurella has yet to get any minutes under Mauricio Pochettino this season, so the opportunity to play a key role at United was never something he was going to turn down.
