According to various journalistic reports, including those by journalist Fabrizio Romano and the newspaper Sportthe white club would have reached a verbal agreement with the Spanish full-back, Marc Cucurella. However, neither party has made an official announcement.
Cucurella, 27 years old, was born in Alella, Barcelona, on July 22, 1998. He trained in the youth ranks of FC Barcelona and made his debut with the first team before continuing his career in other Spanish football clubs.
After his spells at Eibar and Getafe, he signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in England, where he stood out until completing his transfer to Chelsea in 2022.
With the London team he has established himself as a left back and has participated in national and international competitions.
According to information published by Spanish media, Real Madrid’s interest responds to the need to strengthen the left back for next season.
Currently, Cucurella is part of the Spanish team competing in the 2026 World Cup and remains focused on the team led by Luis de la Fuente.
According to the published versions, the operation would be resolved after the tournament and the transfer could be around 50 million euros. However, financial details have not been officially confirmed.
The possible signing would mark Cucurella’s return to Spanish football after several seasons in the Premier League.
For now, both Real Madrid and Chelsea remain silent about a negotiation that remains pending official confirmation.
