Atlético Madrid is actively looking to bolster its defensive lineup and may soon make a significant move to secure a Chelsea defender. Reports from SkySports indicate that the Spanish club is preparing an official offer for 27-year-old left-back, Marc Cucurella.
The negotiations will be led by Atlético Madrid’s sporting director, Mateu Alemany, who plans to personally engage with Chelsea. The club is aiming to generate funds through summer sales, which will be used to enhance their defensive resources.
While Atlético is keen on Cucurella, FC Barcelona is also interested, although they are prioritizing a move for João Cancelo. This season, Cucurella has featured in 49 matches for Chelsea, contributing 1 goal and 4 assists. His estimated transfer value stands at 50 million euros, according to Transfermarkt.
