Marc Cucurella, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Jose Mourinho
15 June 2026
Real Madrid have agreed a deal worth up to £51.8m for Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella, with the transfer set to be completed after the World Cup. The package includes £47.5m up front and £4.3m in add-ons.
Cucurella was open to returning to Spain after Chelsea missed Europe and endured another managerial change. Jose Mourinho’s Madrid are rebuilding quickly, with Bernardo Silva, Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahima Konate also part of their wider recruitment push.
