Real Madrid advances in negotiations to sign left back Marc Cucurella from Chelsea for around 50 million euros. The move is part of José Mourinho's plans after his return to the club. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has said any good news for the player will benefit the group.
The white club agreed the deal this weekend, according to sources close to the environment. Cucurella, 27, and concentrated with Spain in Atlanta, will join a squad that already includes additions such as Ibrahima Konaté and Denzel Dumfries.
De la Fuente responded to questions about the possible transfer in the run-up to the debut against Cape Verde. "If it is good news for him, it is good news for everyone", the coach said.
Mourinho arrived in Valdebebas this week and prioritised experienced reinforcements. Madrid has also closed the signing of Bernardo Silva, 31, from Manchester City.
The Spanish player ends his contract with Chelsea in 2028. Cucurella's arrival would strengthen the left back position alongside Álvaro Carreras, Fran García and Ferland Mendy.
