Cucurella Hints at Barcelona Return: “Hard to Turn Down”

Football News

Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella has recently garnered significant attention throughout the European football community.

This follows the defender’s candid admission that he would struggle to reject an opportunity to rejoin his former club, Barcelona.

Cucurella concluded his period with the Blaugrana in the summer of 2020.

Since then, the 27-year-old has played for Getafe, Brighton & Hove Albion, and his current team, Chelsea.

Over this period, Cucurella has solidified his reputation as one of the premier left-backs globally.

With Barcelona currently seeking to strengthen their full-back options, there have been suggestions that the club is keen on re-signing their former youth academy product, bringing him back to Catalunya.

Cucurella’s recent remarks indicate that he would be quite receptive to such a transfer.

When questioned about a potential return to Barça during an interview with Spanish media on Monday, the Chelsea player stated:

“If Barcelona were to call me, it would be difficult to say no. At the moment, I’m not focused on that, but if the situation arises, we will consider it…”
