However, speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that (with) Marc Cucurella, the situation remains open. If a good bid arrives for Chelsea and for Cucurella, he could still leave Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCucurella was very respectful today (in his interview) by saying: \u2018I\u2019m happy where I am. My family is happy\u2019. So, Cucurella is not going to force a move. He\u2019s not going to create a problem. But in case of good proposal, Marc Cucurella could still leave Chelsea after the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sra_unit\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"block-sra\" href=\"https:\/\/chelseanews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/snack-related-articles\/dist\/css\/snack-related.min.css?230424-120159\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\"\/>\n<aside class=\"sra-group sra-related-list\">\n<h2 class=\"sra-group-head\">Most Read on Chelsea News<\/h2>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>Romano says that despite links to Barcelona, another team is the favourite to sign Cucurella:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtletico Madrid love Cucurella. Atletico Madrid are on it. So, for sure, Atletico consider Cucurella as one of their summer targets. Then, (with) Barcelona, there is an appreciation, but (Alejandro) Balde is still there, and Barcelona have several players in that position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, at the moment, appreciated the player, yes, he\u2019s a former Barca player, so it would be a nice story, but at the moment, still nothing concrete or official because, again, this depends on the domino of fullbacks.

The left-back now has just two years left on his current deal, and Chelsea do not allow players to stay unless they commit for the long term.<\/p>\n<p>There have also been suggestions that Cucurella (like <strong>Enzo Fernandez<\/strong>) was particularly upset with the departure of Enzo Maresca at the start of this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more about the Chelsea First Team Squad for 2025\/26 here<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article contains affiliate links.
