Here we go: Real Madrid bag their fourth summer signing as Chelsea star agrees deal | OneFootball

Ever since the conclusion of the presidential elections, in which Florentino Perez was able to retain power, Real Madrid have been on a roll in the transfer market.

The club have already struck deals with at least three players in the market so far, in the form of Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries and Bernardo Silva, with the Konate deal likely to be officiated after the World Cup.

Now, Real Madrid have made yet another coup in the transfer market by signing none other than Marc Cucurella.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Cucurella deal

A former product of the Barcelona youth academy, Cucurella has been performing consistently since leaving the club in 2020. He is now regarded as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, with over 160 appearances for Chelsea.

Romano suggests Cucurella has a verbal agreement with Real Madrid, while Chelsea, too, have agreed to the deal, which could cost around €50 million, as per earlier reports.

The former Barcelona player was Jose Mourinho’s desired choice in the left-back position, and he will join the club after the World Cup.

Cucurella is the starting left-back for the Spanish national team, ahead of Real Madrid star Alvaro Carreras, who is not even a part of the team.

Everything suggests it will be the same at Real Madrid as well, with Cucurella becoming the undisputed first-choice left-back next season.

This may also have severe implications for Carreras’ future, as it was reported earlier that his future at the Santiago Bernabeu could be in jeopardy if Real Madrid sign a new left-back this summer.

Keeping that in mind, it is fair to assume that Carreras might be allowed to move on, with Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy serving as the understudies for Cucurella.
