Marc Cucurella hopes to return to Barcelona amid transfer interest

Summary

Marc Cucurella, a former Barcelona academy player, is seeking a return to Camp Nou this summer. Current Barcelona full-backs Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde have not satisfied the club, which is considering signing Cucurella from Chelsea. Although several clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, are interested, Cucurella prefers a move back to Barcelona. His potential transfer may hinge on Balde's future, as Barcelona has not made a decision yet. The club may lose the opportunity if they delay, as Cucurella's price could rise with his performance on international duty.
