Marc Cucurella wants to leave Chelsea in January.
Bought from Brighton last summer for an initial fee of £55 million, he has never shown in a Chelsea shirt the form that persuaded the Blues to pay that money for him.
He was linked with a loan move to Manchester United before the transfer window closed, but the deal failed to materialise in the end.
Instead he remains in West London, where he appears to have fallen down the pecking order, and he has yet to play a minute of Premier League football this season.
Indeed, the only first-team action he has seen was in the EFL Cup against Wimbledon.
He now realises that, if he wants regular game time, then it is best of he seeks pastures new, and the defender has not ruled out a return to Spain.
Chelsea would be prepared to listen to any offers made for the wing back.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
