Real Madrid confirm signing of Cucurella from Chelsea

Real Madrid announced the signing of Spanish defender Marc Cucurella from Chelsea on Monday, with the fee reported to be 55 million euros ($63.8 million).

“Real Madrid and Chelsea have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Marc Cucurella, who will join our club for the next six seasons, until June 30, 2032,” the club said in a statement.

The 27‑year‑old left‑back moved to Chelsea from Brighton in 2022 after progressing through Barcelona’s academy and a spell at Getafe.

Cucurella is currently with Spain at the World Cup and will be the only Real Madrid player in Luis de la Fuente’s squad.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was re‑elected earlier in June, after two seasons without a major trophy, and the club appointed Jose Mourinho as coach this week.

Los Blancos are also set to sign Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté at the end of his Anfield contract and have been linked with Bernardo Silva and Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries.

Chelsea finished 10th in the Premier League last season in a disappointing campaign, with Cucurella having criticised the decision to sack Enzo Maresca in January.

The player had two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, where he won the Club World Cup and UEFA Conference League in 2025.
