Turning 23 on July 22, Spanish left-flank runner Marc Cucurella has reportedly been targeted by Atletico Madrid, though only as a backup option, behind current priority, notably Valencia on-exit captain José Luis Gayà. Barcelona FC alumni, successfully playing for Getafe since 2019/20, is allegedly up for sale on a 30 million euros transfer fee, and more clubs might turn up after him indeed.

Just making his senior national team debut, the 1998-born, previously tracked by AC Milan and Tottenham, is viable as a left-back, a wingback, a wide midfielder, and even as a winger. Throughout his four seasons as a first-team fender, Cucurella, currently on a deal with Azulones until June 2024, capped 84 times, scoring four goals therein.
