Marc Cucurella Speaks on Chelsea Future Amid Man Utd, Barca Interest
Cucurella Opens Up on Chelsea Future Amid Man Utd Interest

Marc Cucurella has opened up about his Chelsea future, insisting he is 'very happy' at the club but not ruling out a summer departure amid interest from Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Manchester United.

The left-back is currently with the Spain squad preparing for their World Cup opener against Cape Verde on Monday. However, speculation about his club future has become a hot topic back in England.

Chelsea endured a dismal 2025-26 season, finishing 10th in the Premier League with no European football on offer next term. While the appointment of Xabi Alonso as manager offers hope for the coming campaign, Cucurella is reportedly open to a fresh challenge after three seasons at Stamford Bridge.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both interested in signing him this summer, with Manchester United emerging as another possible destination. The Premier League giants are eager to add a left-back to find a long-term successor for Luke Shaw.

When quizzed on the growing interest, Cucurella was reluctant to be drawn on his club future but admitted he and his family feel settled in London.

'Right now I don't want to talk about that,' Cucurella told El Partidazo de COPE. 'It's true that I'm very happy where I am, I'm very happy, my family is very happy.'

'Whatever you do, don't drive me crazy,' he pleaded. 'I don't like to be burdened with worries. I already have enough with what I have, with my family, without adding more worries.'

While Cucurella is a first-team regular in west London, reports suggest Chelsea could let him go. The Blues reportedly accept it is in the best interest of all parties for Cucurella to leave in the upcoming transfer window but would demand a fee of between €40 and €50 million.

Although Cucurella is reportedly dreaming of a move to the Nou Camp, Barcelona currently have other priorities as they look for a top striker to replace Robert Lewandowski. Barca have previously been linked with Chelsea's Joao Pedro, but the Blues are expected to rebuff any approaches for the Brazil international.
