Real Madrid have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea to acquire Marc Cucurella, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Spanish left-back is set to join the LaLiga giants after the World Cup, as new manager Jose Mourinho continues his defensive overhaul at the Bernabeu. Romano tweeted, ‘EXCLUSIVE: Real Madrid reach verbal agreement to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, HERE WE GO! Verbal agreement in place between all parties, player too — he’s the left back wanted by Mourinho. Details to follow.’ Cucurella becomes the latest addition to Mourinho’s squad, following the arrivals of Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries. The move underscores Madrid’s intent to strengthen their backline under the Portuguese tactician.
