Marc Cucurella: 'It would be difficult to reject' Barcelona; Chelsea 'a bit away from top level'
""It would be difficult to reject [Barça]," he said in a news conference ahead of Spain's friendly against Egypt. "And not just for me. I would have to think about my family as well.""
""Results like that are always hard to take. You are fighting and training every day only to realise, at the very end, that when games matter, we are still a bit away from the top level.""
""I understand this is part of the club's policy and they want to take this direction -- signing young players and looking to the future. But, for all of us who are still here and want to win big things, moments like this make you feel discouraged.""
Marc Cucurella expressed interest in a potential return to Barcelona, stating it would be hard to decline an offer from the club. He emphasized the importance of considering his family's feelings in such a decision. Currently with Chelsea until 2028, Cucurella noted that the club's strategy of focusing on young players may not align with his ambitions. He reflected on Chelsea's recent Champions League defeat, indicating that the team is not yet at the level of Europe's elite and needs more to compete for major trophies.
