The left-back is currently with the Spain squad ahead of their World Cup opener against Cape Verde on Monday but the subject of his club future has become a hot topic back home.
Chelsea endured a dismal 2025-26 season, finishing 10th in the Premier League with no European football on offer next term.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both interested in signing him this summer with United emerging as another possible destination. The Premier League giants are eager to sign another left-back as they look to find a long-term successor for Luke Shaw in that position.
Cucurella was quizzed on the growing interest in his services, reluctant to be drawn on his club future before admitting he and his family feel very settled in the capital.
‘Right now I don’t want to talk about that,’ Cucurella told El Partidazo de COPE.
‘It’s true that I’m very happy where I am, I’m very happy, my family is very happy.

‘Whatever you do, don’t drive me crazy,’ he pleaded. ‘I don’t like to be burdened with worries. I already have enough with what I have, with my family, without adding more worries.’
While Cucurella is a first-team regular in west London, reports suggest Chelsea could let him go.
While Cucurella is dreaming of a move to the Nou Camp, Barcelona currently have other priorities as they look for a top striker to replace Robert Lewandowski.
