Transfer News: Chelsea Star Declines Barcelona, Man United Signs Winger

Chelsea Star Rejects Barcelona's Advances

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has reportedly turned down an offer from Barcelona, opting to stay with the Blues.

Cucurella, who joined Chelsea from Brighton in the summer, has been linked with a move to Barcelona throughout the season.

However, according to Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish left-back has now rejected Barcelona's approaches and is committed to Chelsea.

Manchester United have announced the signing of winger Facundo Pellistri from Uruguayan club Penarol.

The 20-year-old has signed a long-term contract with United and will join the club in January 2023.

Pellistri is a highly-rated young player who has represented Uruguay at youth level.

These two transfer rumors highlight the ongoing activity in the January transfer window.

Chelsea have managed to keep hold of one of their key players, while Manchester United have added a promising young talent to their squad.
