Barcelona’s Cucurella close to joining Getafe

Barcelona are looking for a quick profit on their left-back Marc Cucurella. After signing Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid for €120m, this deal will not catch as much attention, but it is worth noting that Blaugrana are looking for some easy money on their players.

In fact, Barcelona have just signed their former player Marc Cucurella from Eibar and now are close to selling him to another La Liga side, Getafe. What has actually happened here? Barcelona have previously sold Cucurella to Eibar with a buy-back clause once the season ended and after his fine performances for the Basque side, Barcelona thought that it would be wise to do so. Therefore, they paid Eibar €4m for the player who is now just days later close to moving to Getafe.

For that luxury, Getafe will have to pay up to €10m to Barcelona, which will give the Spanish champions some easy profit off of a player did not even need.
