EXPLAINED: Chelsea could use marc cucurella in swap deal as 87m transfer decision awaits | Vintage Vibes

Chelsea could use Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marc Cucurella in a deal to sign Joao Felix permanently.

That is according to the Evening Standard, who claim the Blues are looking into ways they can lower Atletico Madrid's £87 million asking price. Atletico reportedly hold an interest in signing the out of favour Chelsea duo and that could hold the key to getting a permanent move over the line.

Cucurella only moved to Stamford Bridge last summer in a deal worth £60 million but has struggled to make an impact, while Aubameyang - who has also been at Chelsea for less than a year - is too set to leave. Felix's current loan deal at Chelsea is set to expire at the end of the season, but there is a desire from both player and club to extend his time in west London.
