Atletico Madrid are interested in signing the Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella at the end of the season, as per Fichajes.
The 26-year-old Spanish International has not been able to live up to the expectations at the London club since joining them from Brighton. He has been linked with the move away from Chelsea in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if the Spanish outfit can secure an agreement with the English club at the end of the season.
Chelsea need to bring in an upgrade on the Spanish International and this could be the right time for them to cash in on the player. Meanwhile, the opportunity to move to his homeland will be quite attractive for Cucurella. A fresh start could be ideal for him. He has not been able to live up to the expectations at Chelsea, but he has himself in the Premier League with Brighton in the past.
There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for Atletico Madrid, and he could be an important player for them in the coming seasons. The defender is still at the peak of his powers, and he will hope to get his career back on track and regain his top form. He has shown his quality with the Spanish national team and he could be an asset for Atletico Madrid.
Atletico could use Cucurella
The Spanish outfit need more quality and depth at the back and it is no surprise that they are keen on the 26-year-old. Given his situation at Chelsea and his recent stock, he could be available for a reasonable amount of money. Atletico Madrid have a proven track record of snapping up bargains, and they are looking to do so once again. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal across the line.
Meanwhile, they are one of the biggest clubs in Spain and the opportunity to join them will be quite attractive for the 26-year-old. They could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies regularly, and he would get to work under a world-class manager like Diego Simeone.
