Probably about his level this season.
On SSN paper talk:
Chelsea are set to be big sellers when the summer transfer window opens, with 2022 signings Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly among at least six high-profile players who could be on their way out of Stamford Bridge.
Any takers?

Maybe for £5m?
I'm actually beginning to feel a bit sorry for the big-haired dork.
For context, imagine Chelsea's bid for Caicedo hadn't come until Arsenal dicked us about, and that their bid was actually £120m and was thus accepted. That is the equivalent of what happened with Cucurella. He was allowed to leave because he got "lucky" with an obscene bid, and left after 12 months not 6.
I say "lucky" because move that has turned out to be awful for him. No trophy challenge for them this year, and he's been in the spot light because of his fee, with big name pundits queuing up to point out he that can't defend, isn't worth the money and so on. And now he'll be moved on to a club where he is nailed on to be less happy than he was here. He'll end up at somewhere like Villa, with whiney entitled fans in a bang average team.

Added to that, he doesn't have the comfort of being able to look back at us and think 'I made a good decision leaving that lot. Look how badly it is has gone and how much they're struggling without me.'

Saying that could he be the missing left footed centre back we are looking for? Seem to remember him being able to defend when with us.
If we were offered the chance to buy him back for £25m, would ya?

I would imagine his guaranteed salary is several times more at Chelsea than he had at Brighton and the length of contract will mean he'll be paid a very large amount even if he joins another club. Plus, he would have received a very attractive signing on fee.
It may not have been the best move for his footballing career but I would think he and his family are now financially secure for life.
He's a great little player and will be signed by another top level European club once he leaves Chelsea.
Ironically, his style would be ideal for the type of football we're currently playing under De Zerbi (I don't expect him to return).
I don't think he made a mistake by signing for Chelsea based on the money that was probably thrown at him.

As cover for Estupinan? Nah. Can't defend.
No, wouldn’t trust him not to Foxtrot Oscar again the minute he got a better offer, destined to go to a decent European club (not top tier) and stay at that level, unless Newcastle take a punt
Do York need a left back?
Everton it is then. Profligate on wages, they’ll meet his financial needs.
