It was reported earlier today that Chelsea are in discussions with Brighton over a move for Marc Cucurella.
As Barcelona have a history of hijacking players Chelsea wanted to sign, plenty of fans of the Catalan side are now joking Cucurella will end up at Camp Nou.
The 24-year-old is a Barcelona academy graduate and said back in May that he would be open to a return.
So this is what Barca fans are saying about the reported Chelsea target…
Kweku Spider: “Barcelona is in the market looking for a left back because Chelsea won’t sell Alonso to them. Now Chelsea is interested in Cucurella and [sporting director] Alemany has heard it”
A.k.a: “I just realized Barcelona could actually go for Cucurella now. He’s from their academy and they’re looking for Alba’s sub.”
Jok: “Barcelona just got 100M from selling studio rights Marc Cucurella about to be Hijacked again”
Can: “Chelsea: We want to sign Cucurella.
“Barcelona: Tell Laporta to sign him immediatly”
Vayam Lahoti: “Marc Cucurella is being linked with Chelsea. It will be good for him to return to boyhood club Barcelona by the end of the month, in that case.”
ᴄᴇʀᴛɪꜰɪᴇᴅ ꜱɪᴍᴘ™: “When Barcelona hear Chelsea are going for Marc Cucurella. FC Barcelona: that’s our next target.”
Clev: “Not even joking, but if Barcelona truly wanted to hijack Cucurella’s move, we would. He’s always said he’d comeback if we ever gave him a call. Made in La Masia”
