Real Madrid set to sign Cucurella post 2026 World Cup
Real Madrid is entering a transformative phase. Fresh off Florentino Perez’s re-election as president, the club is making bold moves to revamp its roster. Following Mourinho’s appointment as head coach, the transfer market activity has intensified.
A wave of reinforcements post-World Cup
A preliminary agreement has been secured for Marc Cucurella’s transfer to Real Madrid. The Portuguese coach’s first choice for the left-back position, Cucurella is set to leave Chelsea. The deal, valued at around €50 million, is expected to be officially announced after the 2026 World Cup.
Beyond Cucurella, Real Madrid has also made significant progress in assembling its new squad. Bernardo Silva, whose contract at Manchester City is expiring, and Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté are both expected to join the Spanish capital after the tournament. Additionally, Inter Milan and Netherlands right-back Denzel Dumfries is on Madrid’s radar for a potential move.
