However, Chelsea failed to secure any major trophies under managers Enzo Maresca, Liam Rosenior, and interim boss Calum McFarlane last season, and also lost European football status. As a result, Cucurella leaves the club, and Chelsea will now have to replace him ahead of the new season.

Chelsea released a statement thanking Cucurella for his service and wishing him success in his future career. The club's new manager, Xabi Alonso, will take over on July 1st and will have to find a replacement for the departing defender.

Cucurella's transfer marks a significant change for the Chelsea team, and the club will now have to adapt to his departure.
