Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly encouraged Al Nassr to pursue Chelsea left back Marc Cucurella following their interest in Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix. According to MARCA, the Saudi club plans to present Cucurella with a substantial offer this summer as part of their strategy to strengthen their squad amid competition with regional rivals Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.<\/p>\n
Cucurella, who endured a challenging first season at Chelsea, has bounced back effectively and become a crucial element in manager Enzo Maresca’s tactical setup. While his attitude towards a move remains uncertain, the 27-year-old is believed to be settled and focused on remaining at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are currently negotiating to sign Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, but he is not viewed as a direct replacement for Cucurella, who was the club’s primary natural left back last season. With a contract secured until 2028 and coming off one of his finest campaigns, Cucurella would command a high transfer fee should Chelsea decide to sanction his exit.<\/p>\n
Al Nassr’s willingness to offer an “irresistible offer” to lure the defender shows their ambition, though Cucurella’s priority seems to be continuing his career in London for now. Ronaldo’s endorsement of Cucurella highlights the player’s rising profile and significance in the transfer market this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
