Marc Cucurella is a new Real player: he leaves Chelsea and signs until 2032

The transfer window records its first drama of the week. Marc Cucurella leaves Chelsea and commits permanently to Real Madrid, according to official information communicated by the English club. The Spanish full-back signed a long-term contract which binds him to the Madrid club until June 30, 2032.

Arriving in London in the summer of 2022 from Brighton, Cucurella experienced three seasons at Stamford Bridge marked by ups and downs. Despite periods of uncertainty, however, he was part of a trophy-laden period for the Blues: he was part of the squad that won the UEFA Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup last season.

On the international scene, the defender born in 1998 has also been a regular presence with the Spanish selection, including the title of European champion in 2024 with La Roja.

In their statement, Chelsea gratefully saluted Cucurella, highlighting his commitment and contribution to the club's recent successes. The Blues wished the player the best for the future, believing that this transfer represents “the start of a new chapter in his career”.

For Real Madrid, the arrival of Cucurella constitutes an important reinforcement for the left flank. The Spanish club will recover the player at the end of the World Cup: Cucurella will then put himself at the disposal of José Mourinho, the press release specifies. This transfer opens a new stage in the career of the Spanish full-back, who hopes to establish himself within an ambitious squad in La Liga and in Europe.
