Fresh information has emerged as to why Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is keen to sign Barcelona-owned Getafe full-back Marc Cucurella.

Spanish media outlet Diario Sport, as quoted by Football Espana, report that the 21-year-old represents a significantly cheaper option than Chelsea FC’s other targets to strengthen at left-back as the Blues eye FC Porto’s Alex Telles and Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell.

The Spain U21 international’s performances have equally attracted Napoli and Bundesliga pair Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen.

Football Espana claim that his contract situation at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez is complicated however, with Getafe almost certain to exercise their purchase option in the summer.

Cucurella can joined the club as part of a pre-agreed €6M deal, with Barcelona retaining a 40% of any future sell on fee for the 21-year old.

The reported deal on offer from Getafe would also include a €25M release clause, which all of the interested parties would be confident of matching should he want to leave.
