Cucurella is also open to a potential return to La Liga, following a disappointing campaign at Chelsea. The West Londoners slumped to a 10th-place finish in the Premier League to miss out on European football.

Despite the arrival of Xabi Alonso as head coach, Cucurella is ready to explore his options, amid strong interest from Champions League clubs.

Atletico are the most active in pursuing a deal but want to pay under €50m (£43.1m), according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

Chelsea are in a strong position with Cucurella contracted until 2029. The Blues paid £63m to sign Cucurella from Brighton in 2023. However, Chelsea have not ruled out a potential sale if a suitable offer arrives from Spain.
