Flamengo move? Spanish full-back wants Chelsea exit after World Cup | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Chelsea (ENG) in the Club World Cup in 2025

Left back is one of the priority positions that Flamengo intends to strengthen. Therefore, Marc Cucurella could be one of the options on the market, since the Spaniard wants to leave Chelsea (ENG). The player already faced the Most Beloved in 2025.

According to “Mundo Deportivo,” Cucurella believes his cycle at the English club has come to an end. So, among the interested clubs are Spanish sides Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. The Catalans, however, are the favorites in the race.

Is Flamengo not in the running for Cucurella?

Despite the need, Cucurella is beyond the red-and-black club’s budget. That is because the 42 million euros (around R$ 260 million at the exchange rate at the time) paid for Lucas Paquetá represents Mengo’s most expensive signing. The Spanish wide player, however, is valued at 50 million euros (around R$ 300 million).

And who does Flamengo intend to sign for the full-back position?

One of the players sounded out by Rubro-Negro is Kaiki, from Cruzeiro. The 23-year-old full-back has a contract with the Minas Gerais club until the end of 2027. The player is valued at 14 million euros (R$ 84 million).

When did Flamengo face Chelsea?

The Club World Cup in 2025 featured one of the most important matches for the Most Beloved in this century. That is because Mengo came from behind to beat Cucurella’s Chelsea 3-1 in the group stage. On that occasion, the full-back struggled to mark Gonzalo Plata.
