Marc Cucurella targets Barcelona return amid European interest

Marc Cucurella, 27, is prioritising a return to FC Barcelona despite interest from several European clubs. The former La Masia graduate and Chelsea full‑back is reported to be open to a summer move. Barcelona have indicated they would consider signing him. Barcelona are reportedly dissatisfied with the current options on both defensive flanks, Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde. The club sees Cucurella as a more rounded alternative at full‑back. Any deal appears linked to the future of Balde. Chelsea are said to value the Spanish international at €40 million‑€50 million. Manchester City, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have also been linked with the player. Hansi Flick is reported to admire Cucurella’s talent and the profile he brings.

Cucurella is currently on international duty with Spain under Luis de la Fuente, where a strong performance could raise his price further. His desire to return gives Barcelona an advantage, but time is limited. If Barcelona delay, other clubs could secure his signature.
