"The Blues surely won't want to lose Cucurella after his improved form in the last year or so, but it seems he's firmly on Atletico's radar. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Diego Simeone's side may even be preparing a 40m bid for Cucurella, though one imagines Chelsea would want a lot more than that to even consider a sale. The Spain international has become an important player for Chelsea despite initially making a bit of a slow start when he first joined from Brighton."
"Jorrel Hato is now another option at left-back since moving to CFC from Ajax this summer, but Cucurella looks like he remains Enzo Maresca's first choice, so is a sale really at all realistic? Fichajes explain that Atletico want a new left-back and view Cucurella as a potentially crucial addition for their project. While that may well be true, it doesn't mean much if Chelsea don't want to sell the 27-year-old, so it will be interesting to see if this saga really progresses anywhere."
Atletico Madrid have identified Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella as a summer 2026 target and may prepare a €40m bid. Cucurella has improved his form and become an important player for Chelsea after a slow start following his move from Brighton. Chelsea would likely demand a significantly higher fee, and Cucurella remains Enzo Maresca's first-choice left-back despite Jorrel Hato's arrival. Cucurella's preference to return to Spain could influence any transfer. The situation appears speculative and a sale seems unlikely unless Chelsea's valuation, Cucurella's wishes, or Atletico's offer change substantially.
