Amid reports Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez could seek a move away from Stamford Bridge, a third Chelsea star has now cast doubt over his future at the club.
Speaking while on international duty with Spain, Blues defender Marc Cucurella was quizzed on whether he’d entertain a move to Barcelona.
“Let’s see, it’s clear that if those situations arise, well, they are hard to turn down, but I would consider it in the end,” Cucurella said (via talkSPORT.
“It is not just me. I also have to think perhaps about my family, and together we would decide what is best for us.
“But, as I have said before, right now I am not thinking about that.
“It it comes, it will come, and we will see what decision is made.”
It would mark an emotional return for Cucurella, who first joined the Spanish giants in 2012 and spent eight years on their books before moving to Getafe in June 2020.
However, Cucurella was only a permanent player at Getafe for just one season as Brighton came calling in August 2021.
Cucurella’s impressive displays for the Seagulls caught the eyes of the Premier League’s heavyweight clubs, as Chelsea beat Manchester City in the race for his signature having agreed a £63million deal.
The Spaniard has a contract until 2028.
