Real Madrid might go for Cucurella in the upcoming winter transfer window. Carlo Ancelotti faced significant criticism following the game. But it’s important to acknowledge that the Italian manager is currently dealing with a roster. That offers limited options and resources.
Real Madrid could certainly benefit from additional options at left-back, as Fran Garcia’s performance against Atletico Madrid was notably disappointing. Additionally, Ferland Mendy has encountered challenges related to both form and fitness in recent times. Strengthening this position may be a priority for the club.
According to The Sun, Marc Cucurella is considering a departure from Chelsea in the upcoming January transfer window. Real Madrid is reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation, potentially considering a loan move for the Spanish player.
Will Cucurella move to the Spanish capital?
Cucurella was indeed signed by Chelsea in the summer of 2022 from Brighton & Hove Albion. However, as you mentioned, like several of their new signings, his time at Chelsea hasn’t gone as expected, which has led to speculation about a potential move away from the club.
Marc Cucurella had a challenging season in the previous campaign and appears to be currently outside of Mauricio Pochettino’s plans. Despite Chelsea’s struggles in the Premier League, where they currently sit at 14th in the table, the Spanish left-back has not made an appearance in the competition this season.
Cucurella could indeed be a valuable addition on loan for Real Madrid. His previous experience in Spanish football, having come through the youth ranks at Barcelona and played for clubs like Eibar and Getafe, could make him a solid fit for the team. His familiarity with the style and demands of La Liga could be an asset if Real Madrid pursues this option.
Indeed, several players have faced challenges at Chelsea over the past two seasons. However, Cucurella had a positive spell at Brighton & Hove Albion prior to his time at Chelsea. A move back to Spain could potentially assist him in regaining his top form. Whether we will see the La Masia graduate wearing the iconic white jersey of Real Madrid in the near future remains to be seen. But it’s clear that there is interest and potential for such a transfer.
