Chelsea are reportedly considering a Marc Cucurella and Julian Alvarez exchange deal, with the Spanish side open to considering the idea.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea could potentially consider offering Marc Cucurella in a deal for Julian Alvarez, which could be an idea that Atletico Madrid might consider. The two players are of interest to these clubs, with a deal potentially on the cards in the summer.
Marc Cucurella is a player who has become one of the best in his position in the Premier League since his move to Chelsea. He is currently one of the undroppables in the Blues side at the moment, but his future could come under some questions given how Chelsea likes to operate in the market.
Atletico Madrid are interested in Cucurella, as Diego Simeone seeks a quality addition to the left-back role, and will want the 27-year-old wide man in that role. The Spanish giants reportedly value him at €55 million, and could be open to testing Chelsea with an offer.
However, any deal will be difficult, despite the fact that Atletico Madrid could go all out to sign Cucurella. Chelsea will have their own valuation for the 27-year-old wide man, given they paid significantly more than the valuation the Spanish giants consider viable.
Chelsea are now open to the idea of proposing an exchange deal involving Cucurella and Atletico Madrid’s €100 million-rated World Cup winner Julian Alvarez. Chelsea are indeed interested in the Argentine and are ready to explore the idea of an exchange deal with the Spanish giants.
Will Atletico Madrid sell Julian Alvarez for Cucurella?
Chelsea are not alone in the mix for Alvarez, with Arsenal also keen to bring the Argentine in the summer. However, should Chelsea push with an exchange deal, Atletico Madrid might consider the idea, but it must meet their valuation of the €100 million-rated World Cup winner.
It will most likely come down to player preference as well as whether Chelsea are willing to add plenty of cash on top of giving Atletico Madrid Cucurella as part of this deal. This is an interesting conversation in the market, although there are doubts about whether Cucurella would depart.
