Cucurella’s agents left Brighton on Saturday as they had to continue other operations in this transfer window. As soon as they touched back down in Spain, the second turning point of the saga began.
They had two missed phone calls from an unknown phone number before a text message arrived.
It was Todd Boehly, and he wanted to personally discuss the signing of Cucurella. Chelsea were willing to reach the £50m-plus package and get the deal done as soon as possible.
What followed was a move not even Cucurella was expecting, an invitation to Boehly’s villa in Mykonos.
The player’s camp cancelled everything and flew to the Greek island, where Boehly is spending the summer with his family.
Boehly was aware of Tuchel’s admiration for Cucurella and decided to reactivate the contacts that were cut off when Granovskaia and Cech left the club.
