Marc Cucurella's Potential Shirt Numbers at Real Madrid After Transfer Speculation
Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of left back Marc Cucurella from Chelsea. The Spain international had been linked with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, but Real Madrid's interest emerged on Sunday, leading to a swift transfer.
The deal is reportedly worth up to $69.4 million, with the majority guaranteed, and Cucurella has signed a six-year contract. Chelsea has thanked Cucurella for his efforts and wished him success in his new career stage.
Cucurella has worn various shirt numbers throughout his career, including 24, 36, 20, 15, and 3. However, his preferred number 3 is currently taken by Éder Militão at Real Madrid. La Liga's rules also complicate matters, as senior players must wear numbers between 1 and 25.
With several players facing uncertain futures, including Militão, Eduardo Camavinga, and Gonzalo García, Cucurella may have options to claim his preferred number in the future. The club may also offload one of their senior left backs, Álvaro Carreras or Fran García, to make room for Cucurella.
