Chelsea: Marc Cucurella set to join Real Madrid

A fourth signing is on its way to Real Madrid this summer, and it could very well be Marc Cucurella.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea for the transfer of Marc Cucurella. The Spanish left-back has given the green light to join Los Blancos after the 2026 World Cup.

Requested by José Mourinho, Marc Cucurella is expected to bolster Real Madrid’s defensive line, which the Portuguese coach has identified as a key priority. Unless there’s a dramatic turn of events, the Spaniard will leave Chelsea during this summer transfer window to continue his career in the Spanish capital.
