Al-Nassr pushing to sign Chelsea star Marc Cucurella
Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr are making headlines once again in the transfer market. After sealing a deal worth €50 million for Chelsea forward Joao Felix, the Pro League powerhouse is now setting its sights on another Chelsea star, Marc Cucurella.
According to reports from Marca, Al-Nassr are planning a massive bid to land the talented wing-back. The club’s management is eager to continue its high-profile recruitment strategy, and Cucurella has emerged as a key target to bolster their defensive ranks.
The Spanish international has made a significant impact at Stamford Bridge since his arrival. Cucurella has featured in 113 matches for Chelsea, netting 8 goals and providing 9 assists. Known for his tenacity, versatility, and leadership, Cucurella has become a dependable figure both on and off the pitch.
However, it’s not just his club performances that have caught the eye. Cucurella played a crucial role for Spain during UEFA Euro 2024, held in Germany. Not only was he selected in Luis de la Fuente’s final squad, but he also provided the assist for Mikel Oyarzabal’s winning goal in the final against England, which secured Spain a 2–1 victory. His outstanding form earned him a well-deserved spot in the Team of the Tournament, solidifying his status as one of Europe’s top left-backs.
Euro Football Rumours
Al-Nassr, currently home to global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané, are prepared to spend big to secure Cucurella’s services. While they invested €50 million for Felix, sources suggest the club is willing to go higher to land the Spanish defender.
Despite Al-Nassr’s ambitions, Chelsea are reluctant to part ways with Cucurella. Club insiders highlight the 27-year-old’s influence in the dressing room and his growing leadership role within the squad. As the Blues look to rebuild under their management, Cucurella is seen as a cornerstone of their future plans.
Still, with the financial strength of Saudi clubs continuing to disrupt the European market, Chelsea may be tempted if the right offer comes in. Should a deal be struck, it would mark yet another high-profile move from the Premier League to the Middle East.
As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on Marc Cucurella’s future—whether he remains a key player for Chelsea or takes on a new challenge in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr.
