After Enzo Fernandez appeared to hint at possible move away from Chelsea, Marc Cucurella responds to Barcelona return question
- On Tuesday, 27-year-old Marc Cucurella addressed speculation about a potential return to Barcelona while on international duty with Spain, admitting it would be "difficult to refuse" despite remaining happy at Chelsea.
- Cucurella criticized Chelsea's board for firing Enzo Maresca in January, less than six months after the Italian manager won the Club World Cup, noting the team was more stable under his leadership.
- Pointing to Arsenal's patience with Mikel Arteta, Cucurella argued that current manager Liam Rosenior lacks sufficient training time; "he likes to stay close to us and his football ideas are good, but we don't have the time to train them."
- Following a Carabao Cup defeat to Arsenal, Chelsea has struggled under Rosenior, winning just one of their last six Premier League games and suffering Champions League elimination.
- Cucurella noted that Chelsea must balance signing young players with experienced talent to fight for major trophies like the Premier League or Champions League, rather than relying solely on youth.
