Cristiano Ronaldo tells Al-Nassr to sign another Chelsea star after agreeing deal for Joao Felix

Marca journalist Jose Felix Diaz reports that Ronaldo wants Cucurella to join Al-Nassr. The news comes after the Saudi club agreed the transfer of Joao Felix from Chelsea for an initial fee of €30m (£26m/$35m). That deal could eventually rise to €50m, as per Fabrizio Romano, who reports the deal has "add-ons and a significant sell-on clause".

Cucurella has become a key part of Chelsea's starting XI in the past few years, after an initial battle for game-time with Ben Chilwell after joining from Brighton in 2022. The Spanish left back made 54 appearances in all competitions for the Blues last term, including 36 games in the Premier League.

Cucurella is under contract until June 2028, placing the west London side under no real pressure to sell. A firm favourite of his manager Enzo Maresca and the Stamford Bridge faithful, there will is little indication that Chelsea will sell.

CR7 will likely have to be content with one ex-Blue making the switch to the SPL. Felix will become an Al-Nassr player upon the completion of his medical. This move represents a fresh start for a talented player that failed to make good on his immense promise. The same certainly cannot be said of Cucurella who continues to thrive in west London.
