"Atletico Madrid" is exploring the possibility of acquiring "Chelsea's" defender Marc Cucurella to strengthen their defense.
Idman.Biz reports, citing "Marca", that the player has become a priority transfer target for the Spanish club in the summer.
According to the source, the Madrid club is ready to spend a significant portion of its budget on the deal.
The Madrid team is fortunate that Cucurella has already spent five seasons in England and wants to return to Spain.
However, there is one obstacle. "Barcelona" is also interested in the player, and his price may increase after the 2026 World Cup. Xabi Alonso's appointment as "Chelsea's" head coach could influence the London club's decision.
Official negotiations have not yet begun.
