El Atlético de Madrid está buscando un lateral izquierdo y se ha puesto en contacto con dos jugadores españoles. Tal y como hemos informado en las últimas semanas en @RadioMARCA, los nombres son los de Marc Cucurella y Alejandro Grimaldo. El elevado precio de Cucurella, entre su salario y la cantidad que pide el Chelsea, complica la negociación. Grimaldo es más asequible, y el jugador quiere volver a jugar en España.
