Real Madrid complete signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea

Chelsea have confirmed the sale of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid for an initial £47.5million.
 
The left-back is currently at the World Cup with Spain, and his transfer was made official on the morning of his country’s first match of the tournament against Cape Verde.
 
Cucurella has signed a six-year contract at Real after Chelsea agreed a deal that could rise to £51.8m.
 
“Real Madrid CF and Chelsea FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Marc Cucurella, who will be linked to our club for the next six seasons, until June 30, 2032,” Madrid confirmed in a statement.
The 27-year-old is the first signing of Jose Mourinho’s second spell in charge of Real.
 
Cucurella joined Chelsea for £63m from Brighton in 2022 and still had three years left on his deal at Stamford Bridge.
 
Chelsea said: “Everyone at Chelsea FC would like to thank Marc for his efforts during his time at the club and for the role he played in our recent achievements.
 
“We wish him every success as he begins the next stage of his career.”
 
Centre-back Konaté and midfielder Silva are expected to follow when their contracts expire with Liverpool and Manchester City, respectively, at the end of the month, while Madrid also plan to trigger a €20m ($23m) clause in Dumfries’ terms to sign the Inter Milan right-back.
