After missing out on Champions League football, there are concerns that Chelsea will have to let go of one of its important players this summer, and Atletico Madrid is prepared to take advantage of this.
A run of six straight Premier League losses and Liam Rosenior’s dismissal during that time caused Chelsea to drop out of the top five.
Enzo Fernandez’s departure at the end of the season has been predicted by many. He has shown his admiration for Real Madrid.
Their city rivals have expressed interest in signing Marc Cucurella and are also keeping an eye on the first team roster.
Diego Simeone’s team believes the Chelsea left-back is the best choice to join the team and strengthen the defense, according to AS.
The two teams have already communicated about a possible transfer, according to the article.
Since Enzo Maresca was fired, Cucurella’s performance has drastically changed, and he is no longer the Chelsea team’s unstoppable power.
Like Fernandez, the left-back has expressed his affinity for another team, saying that he prefers Barcelona because of his upbringing in their academy.
Chelsea at crossroads with Cucurella
As one of the most seasoned players in the Chelsea first team, Cucurella is in a unique position.
But when his contract expires in two years, the club will face a challenging dilemma over his future.
Even though he signed a new contract this season in secret, BlueCo would never offer him a large contract at his age.
The final games of the season might be used to determine how close Jorrel Hato is to being a regular in the starting lineup, which would ultimately result in the Spaniard being benched.
