Chelsea will not block Cucurella's exit, but any potential transfer will depend on the club's valuation of the player, which is currently unclear.

Cucurella joined Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022 for an initial £56M, and the club is likely to seek to recoup their investment.

New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is aware of the situation and has already spoken with Cucurella about his intentions.

Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has also been in contact with Cucurella's representatives, but strengthening the left-back position is not currently a priority for the club.

Barcelona will continue to monitor Cucurella's situation, particularly during the World Cup, where he may discuss his future with international teammates who could influence his decision.
