BREAKING: Marc Cucurella Signs For Real Madrid From Chelsea
Chelsea have agreed a deal to sell Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid.
The 27-year-old is currently in the US with the Spain squad and will complete his move after the World Cup has concluded.
Multiple clubs were interested in signing him but the former Barcelona full-back wanted to sign for Real Madrid. He had been linked with a return to Barca, as well as Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.
The fee is £47.5m plus £4.3m in add-ons, with the potential to rise to £51.8m in total. Chelsea signed Cucurella from Brighton four years ago for £63m.
t’s already been very busy summer for incoming Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who will officially start work at his new club next month. Deals for Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries and Bernardo Silva have already been secured.
Cucurella made public comments criticising Chelsea’s transfer policy and the decision to let Enzo Maresca leave at the start of the year.
