When you listen to the BBC commentators cover Chelsea matches, not a game goes by without Marc Cucurello’s hair fascinating and amusing. Back in 2022, the coach with the opposite of Cucurello’s mane of hair called the Brighton star. The energetic left-back saw a move to City to play for Pep Guardiola as the biggest thing, so what happened?
For now, Cucurella is one of the biggest profiles in an up-and-coming Chelsea team, where the Spaniard has no reason to complain. The situation was completely different when Guardiola did like an Alex Ferguson and called in players for signing.

“They (City) were scorching hot, one of the best teams in the world. I would definitely have liked to go. When they come like they did, when Guardiola prays, you get on your knees if necessary,” Cucurella said, according to City Xtra.
We remember back in the day when Alex Ferguson picked up the phone and gave his “command” to United goals to sign with Man Utd, where virtually no one could say no. Cucurella was ready to do the same with Guardiola.
-But the clubs were unable to come to an agreement. Brighton had unrealistic demands, and it wasn’t possible,” Marc Cucurella said, according to City Xtra.

Cucurella moved to Chelsea later that summer, signing a contract until the summer of 2028. The London club had no problem breaking Brighton’s sales record with up to £63 million in transfer fees.
