In 2022, after taking over Chelsea amid a management exodus, Boehly handled transfers himself and spent £62 million on Cucurella to hijack City's deal, part of a £250 million spree on nine players that led to a dismal 12th-place finish. He called it a learning curve, following rivals' scouting like Pep Guardiola's team. Now in 2026, Cucurella has become a key player with strong stats and Man of the Match awards, helping Chelsea chase top four as Boehly stresses long-term planning like his Dodgers success.
