Marc Cucurella's transfer to Real Madrid is now complete - where does he rank among the most expensive full-backs of all time?
Real Madrid has reached an agreement to sign full-back Marc Cucurella from Chelsea for a €60 million deal, comprising a €55m fixed fee plus €5m in add-ons. The transfer, confirmed by the club, will see Cucurella linked to Real Madrid for six seasons until June 30, 2032. This move comes despite the Spaniard signing a new Chelsea contract last summer.
Multiple clubs, including Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester City, had been in contact with Cucurella's representatives. The deal is part of Real Madrid's trend of signing Premier League players this summer, with expected deals for Ibrahima Konaté and Bernardo Silva. The club has also brought back former manager José Mourinho.
Cucurella's transfer fee ranks him among the most expensive full-backs of all time, with Achraf Hakimi topping the list at €68m. Cucurella's previous move from Brighton to Chelsea for €65m puts him second, while his current transfer to Real Madrid places him fourth. This deal will give him the highest accumulated transfer fees across his career among full-backs.
The Spaniard will now focus on the World Cup with Spain, but his move to one of the world's biggest clubs is likely to be a significant consideration for the 27-year-old.
