Real Madrid have agreed a deal with Chelsea to sign Spanish defender Marc Cucurella after the World Cup worth 55 million ($63 million), according to reports.

The left-back, 27, joined Chelsea from Brighton in 2022 after coming through La Liga champions Barcelona’s academy and moving to Getafe.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez appointed Jose Mourinho as coach this week after he was reelected earlier in June, following two seasons without winning a major trophy.
