Hvad det så betyder.

Chelsea have reached a full agreement with Marc Cucurella over a new long-term contract at Stamford Bridge.

The Spain international still had three years remaining on the six-year deal he signed after joining from Brighton in 2022.

Fresh terms have now been agreed following his resurgence under head coach Enzo Maresca last season.

Fabrizio Romano reports the new contract is ‘signed and sealed’, with Cucurella regarded as a key figure both on and off the pitch.

Chelsea reportedly rejected a €70 million bid from Al-Nassr this summer, underlining the club’s determination to keep him.

The new deal will extend his stay beyond 2028, ensuring long-term stability in a position that has seen significant turnover in recent years.

Cucurella’s extension is expected to be formally announced in the coming days, bringing to an end weeks of negotiations.

For Chelsea, it represents a major statement in keeping one of their most important players at the club for the foreseeable future.
