Marc Cucurella

Reports are indicating that Atlético Madrid are cuckoo for Cucurella. Getafe’s winger and occasional full-back has been name-checked as one of the options to reinforce Atlético’s left flank. Both Marca and Mundo Deportivo claimed Tuesday that the club will seek help — preferably Cucurella’s — on that side of the pitch, seeing as the only natural left-back Diego Simeone has at his disposal is Renan Lodi. The Brazilian started less than a third of Atleti’s league games, while Yannick Carrasco spent much of 2020/21 playing as a converted left wing-back (though he did it very well).

The second Future Stars Academy card is here. Two days after the FIFA 21 team released the first FUT Future Stars Academy Objectives challenge, a follow-up challenge featuring Getafe CF midfielder Marc Cucurella went live. FIFA players can get their hands on four different versions of Cucurella, with the final one being an 87 OVR version of the Spanish midfielder.
