Monday, June 15, 2026 - Real Madrid have reached a verbal agreement to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea in a package worth up to €60m (£52m).
The deal is broken down into an initial £47.4m fee
(€55m/$63.5m) with an additional £4.3m (€5m/$5.7m) in potential add-ons.
Cucurella,27, only signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge last
summer, but sources say Cucurella was open to leaving after the club missed out
on European football following a tenth-place finish in the Premier League.
The Spain left-back, who joined Chelsea for £63m from
Brighton in 2022, was understood to have been keen to return to Spain, having
come through Barcelona's academy. He had been linked with Atletico Madrid and a
move back to Barcelona.
Cucurella has made a total of 163 appearances for Chelsea
since signing from Brighton for £60m (€69.5m/$80m) in 2022. He was part of
the Spain squad
which won Euro 2024 and will feature again at the 2026 World Cup.
Cucurella had three years left on his contract, despite
agreeing improved terms without an extension last season, which is likely to
have played a part in Chelsea's decision to accept the offer.
