The website "Fichajes" reported that Atlético Madrid has made its first official offer to sign Spanish left-back Marc Cucurella from Chelsea and the Spanish national team, in a move aimed at strengthening the team's left flank.

Cucurella, 27 years old, is experiencing the best period of his career after becoming a key player for Chelsea, the Club World Cup champions. He also enjoys great confidence from the Spanish national team's coaching staff, who consider him an important asset in major tournaments.

The player is distinguished by his defensive and offensive abilities alike, with excellent game reading skills. He has succeeded in establishing himself as one of the best full-backs in the English league since his transfer, which has increased his value in the European market.

Atlético Madrid is closely monitoring the player's progress, affirming that his aggressive style and tactical skills align with the requirements of the team's coach, Diego Simeone. Sources indicate that the Spanish club's initial offer could reach around 40 million euros, an amount that Chelsea might reject, but it reflects Atlético's seriousness about the deal.

Cucurella is preparing for a crucial period in his career, amid expectations that next summer could see significant moves regarding his transfer, with Chelsea keeping the door open to offers that reflect the value of a proven international player.
