Chelsea's best defender could leave this summer

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella is considering leaving the club this summer, with his dissatisfaction with the current season prompting him to consider his future, according to The Athletic.

However, Chelsea are not particularly concerned, as Cucurella still has three years left on his contract. However, the club will not object to a transfer if the offer meets his asking price. Several teams are monitoring the defender's situation. In particular, Barcelona have expressed interest in Cucurella and would be happy to bring him back to Spain. The defender is also a priority target for Atletico Madrid and their head coach Diego Simeone.

Meanwhile, Chelsea management is holding internal discussions and assessing the possibility of signing Liverpool's 27-year-old French central defender Ibrahima Konate.

Last season, Kukurela played 50 games for the club in all competitions, scoring one goal and providing four assists. Transfermarkt values ​​the defender at €50 million.
