Atletico Madrid target Chelsea's Cucurella

Atletico Madrid have identified Marc Cucurella as a primary target for the summer transfer window despite Chelsea's desire to keep him.

Despite recently renewing his contract and performing well under Enzo Maresca, Los Colchoneros are probing for a deal. Cucurella’s recent criticism of the club’s direction could further fuel Atletico’s interest.

However, selling the 27-year-old would be a significant error for Chelsea. With a squad heavily focused on youth, his experience and composure are crucial for stability and leadership.
