Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Man United have made the £2m offer to take the Spaniard on loan for the season.
However, the report argues that the Blues are demanding a bigger fee if they are to loan Cucurella, 25, out.
The Athletic has added that Chelsea could be demanding as much as £7m to accept a deal.
Both reports have suggested that talks will continue over a deal as United try to strengthen their defence.
However United fans have been in shock after seeing how much Chelsea apparently want for the defender.
One Tweeted: “7m is too much.”
A second commented: “£7m for a loan of a LB.”
A third wrote: “Not overpaying Chelsea again.”
