Chelsea sets £61 million price tag for Marc Cucurella amid interest

Chelsea has reportedly placed a price tag of £61 million on defender Marc Cucurella, who has attracted interest from La Liga clubs including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid. The move comes as Cucurella seeks a departure from the club after Chelsea's disappointing mid-table finish, which saw them miss out on European competition next season. Chelsea had previously been unconcerned about Cucurella's status with time left on his contract but has now determined a valuation as the summer transfer window approaches. This follows a four-season stint for Cucurella at Stamford Bridge, where he made 163 appearances.
