Marc Cucurella: Atletico Madrid keen on the Chelsea defender

The Blues left wing-back Marc Cucurella has got attention from the La Liga side Atletico Madrid.

Diego Simeone wants Marc Cucurella at Metropolitano

The Spanish giants are interested in the Blues defender as per reports by Fichajes. He has not been at his potential best at the Stamford Bridge club. In the recent months, he has been linked with various moves with some top European clubs. And Atletico seem to be leading the race for the player right now. They could sign him in the coming summer transfer window.

The west London side should be looking for better options if the player decides to leave. Cucurella will surely think about having a good opportunity to play in his home country. A new chapter in his professional career would be ideal for him. He was one of the best players when he was at Brighton & Hove Albion. But we haven’t been able to see his best with the Blues.

Although, he is talented player in his position. He would surely thrive under the management of Diego Simeone. Simeone’s team have been giving a hard fight to Real Madrid and Barcelona. for the La Liga crown. The 2013/2014 season was the last time they won the league. And since then they have been waiting to lift the title again. But they have been finishing in the top three for almost every year behind Real and Barca.

With his current situation at Chelsea, he could be available in the transfer market for a rational amount of fee. The Spanish side has been known to sign players at bargains. They might be looking to do the same this time. It remains uncertain whether they will be able to get the deal in their favour.

Atletico could add more depth in their left flank

The Diego Simeone side has reportedly been looking to add more strength in its left flank. Cucurella has been seen as a main target for the cause.

Currently Javi Galan has been operating as the left-back in the team. He is yet to show his head coach that he is untouchable in that position.

With the potential exit for Reinildo Mandava on the cards, the Argentine tactician is eyeing a new arrival in the squad.

The 26-year-old left wing-back is on the transfer list for the La Liga side. His performances in the Euros with Spain have been admired by Simeone. With the experience of playing in the Premier League, he will surely have his impact in the Spanish top division.
