Chelsea defender admits Barcelona transfer 'would be nice' -- it's not Azpilicueta

Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has confessed that he would love to return to Barcelona some day.

"I didn't get the chance to really play for Barca and I've always been gutted about that," said Cucurella, whose sole appearance for the club came in a seven-minute Copa del Rey cameo in 2017.

"In the end, if I had the chance in future, I would value it, it would be very nice" - he told Radio Catalunya.

Cucurella joined Barca's U-16 team in 2012 but left for Eibar seven years later, only for the Blaugrana to trigger his buyback clause 16 days later to re-sign him and loan to Getafe, who he would join on a permanent basis in 2020.

After another 12 months, the defender joined Brighton and impressed enough to earn himself a big-money move to Chelsea this past summer.

A Barca return in the near future seems unlikely for Cucuruella, given that Xavi has Alejandro Balde, Jordi Alba and Marcos Alonso at his disposal.

However, matters could change a few years down the line, especially with the club looking to offload Alba and Alonso not getting any younger either.
