Atletico Madrid is looking to strengthen its left flank and has identified Marc Cucurella as its main target. With Javi Galan not entirely convincing and the potential departure of Reinildo Mandava on the horizon, Diego Simeone sees the Chelsea player as the ideal piece to enhance his defense. Cucurella's performance in the Eurocup with Spain and his consistency in the Premier League have piqued Atletico's interest.

The 26-year-old full-back has shown significant growth in his game, excelling in defensive duties as well as offensive contributions. While his contract with the London club runs until 2028, Atletico is evaluating the possibility of making an offer close to €30 million to acquire him in the upcoming transfer market.

Atletico Madrid Wants to Sign Marc Cucurella

Cucurella has been a key player for Chelsea this season, tallying four goals and three assists in 30 matches played. His ability to adapt to different tactical schemes and his intensity in play align with Simeone's philosophy, which seeks players with character and versatility for the squad.

Atletico needs solutions on the left flank to continue competing at the highest level in LaLiga and Europe. Cucurella's arrival would represent a quality leap for the team, aiming for a player proven in top leagues with international experience. Although the negotiation won't be simple, the club is determined to reinforce its defense with a signing that could make a difference in the upcoming season.
