Marc Cucurella has become the latest Chelsea player to fuel transfer speculation, admitting a potential return to FC Barcelona would be “hard to turn down” amid growing uncertainty at Stamford Bridge.
The Spain international, speaking during the international break, stopped short of actively pushing for a move but made it clear that a switch back to his boyhood club would be an attractive proposition. Having come through Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, the left-back retains strong emotional ties to the Catalan side, where he spent formative years before building his senior career elsewhere.
Cucurella emphasised that any decision would depend not only on footballing factors but also on family considerations, suggesting that while a transfer is not imminent, the door remains open should Barcelona make a move.
His CHELSEA team-mate, Enzo Fernandez, had also fanned flames of a move to Real Madrid, telling an Argentinian outlet that he’d consider living in Madrid amid rumours.
While away with the Spain national team, speaking to press, Cucurella was asked a question referring to Fernandez’s revelation: “At the end of the day, Spain is always Spain – it’s my country and where I grew up, and you always think about going back, but I think I’d leave it for a few years.
“I’m very happy there (in England), my family too, and as a life experience, it’s a very good one. Well, it’s clear that if something like that happens, it’s difficult to turn them down, but I’d have to consider it.
“At the end of the day, it’s not just about me – I’d also have to think about my family, maybe, what’s best for them or for all of us, but as I said before, I’m not thinking about that right now.
“If it happens, it happens, and we’ll see what we decide.”
