Cristiano Ronaldo Urges Al Nassr to Sign Chelsea's Cucurella

Summary
- Al Nassr close to signing Chelsea's Joao Felix
- Cristiano Ronaldo wants Al Nassr to land Chelsea's Marc Cucurella
- Cucurella emerged as crucial player for Chelsea in 2023/24 season
Al Nassr are close to completing a transfer for Chelsea attacker Joao Felix, but the Saudi Pro League side might not be done doing business in west London. According to reports, Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo wants his club to land Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella as they bid to clinch the Saudi League title.
After a rough start to his Chelsea career, Cucurella emerged as a crucial player in the final games of the 2023/24 campaign. Former boss Mauricio Pochettino shifted him into midfield, and the tactical move helped the Blues control counters better and end the season with a flourish. Under new head coach Enzo Maresca, Cucurella's game reached new heights last term, playing a massive role as Chelsea clinched UEFA Champions League football, won the Europa Conference League, and the Club World Cup.
However, Cucurella is entering the final two years of his Chelsea contract, and the club might consider selling him next term, especially if potential signing Jorrel Hato shows he can take the mantle.
