Real Madrid have reportedly secured the signing of Spanish left-back Marc Cucurella after manager José Mourinho identified the Chelsea defender as his primary target for the position.

According to reports, Mourinho made it clear to the club hierarchy that Cucurella was the only left-back he wanted to strengthen his squad, prompting club president Florentino Pérez to approve a deal worth around €60 million for the Spain international.

The move comes amid continued uncertainty behind the scenes at Chelsea, with Cucurella believed to have been keen on leaving Stamford Bridge. The defender joins a growing list of players seeking exits from the London club, with midfielder Enzo Fernández also reportedly considering his future.

Cucurella arrives in Madrid after re-establishing himself as one of Europe’s most reliable full-backs. The 27-year-old has become a regular starter for Spain and played a key role in the national team’s recent successes, earning praise for his energy, defensive discipline, and attacking contributions.

For Mourinho, the signing addresses a priority area as he continues to reshape Real Madrid’s squad. The Portuguese manager reportedly viewed Cucurella as the ideal fit for his tactical system, valuing both his versatility and experience at the highest level.

The transfer also sees Real Madrid regain a Spanish national team regular in their squad, something that has become increasingly rare in recent seasons. Cucurella is expected to compete immediately for a starting role and could become one of the key figures in Mourinho’s new-look side.

With Real Madrid already strengthening several areas of the squad this summer, the arrival of Cucurella underlines the club’s determination to remain competitive both domestically and in Europe under Mourinho’s leadership.
