Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea will have to pay £45 million if they want to sign Marc Cucurella from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.
The Sun have reported interest in Cucurella from Chelsea, Tottenham and Premier League champions Manchester City.
Spurs, Chelsea and City have reportedly been told to pay as much as £45 million for the 23-year-old Spain international left-back.
Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea for Marc Cucurella?
In our view, Chelsea are more likely than Tottenham Hotspur to sign Marc Cucurella from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Chelsea have new owners now, but they still are a massive club with a big budget and can afford to spend £45 million on one player.
Tottenham do not tend to splash the cash a lot, and although they will play in the Champions League next season, the North London club are likely to be more cautious with their funds.
Ivan Perisic is reportedly on the verge of joining Tottenham on a free transfer, and he can play as a left-winger or as a left wing-back.
Cucurella plays as a left-back or as a left-winger, so Spurs may not want to sign him now if they get Perisic.
