According to Spanish outlet Marca, Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella is a wanted man this summer, and he’s keen on a change of scenery after four years at Stamford Bridge.
At the moment, it appears the race will come down to the Spain international choosing between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona regarding his destination. The Spain international, however, won’t be making any decisions about his future until his involvement at the 2026 World Cup is over.
Cucurella rose through the youth ranks at Barcelona and played for Eibar and Getafe, before moving to England to join Brighton in 2021. He moved on to Chelsea only a year later, for more than €65 million.
Since then, the 27-year-old left-back has made a total of 163 appearances for the London Blues, scoring nine goals and providing 13 assists.
There are three years left on his contract, and though the report mentions the figure of €40 million, it’s hard to imagine Chelsea letting him go at that price.
