Pochettino left with £62m Chelsea transfer conundrum as agent denies agreement

Marc Cucurella's agent has revealed that there is no agreement for him to move to Atletico Madrid as the Blues find themselves stacked at left-back.

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has seen his agent come out to deny transfer reports linking him with a move to Atletico Madrid.

Kalidou Koulibaly came in before Cucurella and has been moved on already this window, finding himself a new home in the Saudi Pro League. Meanwhile, Kai Havertz's inconsistent three years has been ended with a £65million transfer to Arsenal.

Such thoughts lead to Spanish papers reporting that Atletico Madrid were willing to pay £55million to make him part of Diego Simeone's set-up for next year.

Cucurella's agent, Álvaro Dominguez, has put an end to those rumours, though. Taking to Instagram, he wrote: "Fake news [cross emoji]" over the story.

His continued injury issues have left Chelsea managers pondering over an effective way to deputise for him, though, and Cucurella will be hoping he can solidify his place in the squad despite the emergence of teenager Lewis Hall.

Cucurella, with his experience and previous body of work as an exciting, attacking defender, appears to have the nod on the pair of youngsters and will now be looking to cement his role over the summer and during pre-season.
