Real Madrid sign Cucurella from Chelsea: it's official

Real Madrid have completed the official signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, according to Sky Sport. Eurosport had reported the agreement in the preceding hours, putting the fee paid to the Blues at 60 million euros.

The deal is done: according to Sky Sport, Real Madrid have made official the signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea. The Spanish club, who play in La Liga, thus wrap up the move for the Spaniard, signed from the English Premier League.

The news came together within a few hours. About a day before it became official, Eurosport had described the negotiation as “done”, putting the fee owed to Chelsea for the transfer at 60 million euros. Shortly afterwards came the definitive confirmation, with Sky Sport openly describing the deal as “official”.

On the financial side, the only figure to emerge from the sources is the 60 million euros reported by Eurosport: no other detail regarding the length of the contract or the player’s wages has so far been made public. The progression of the reports — from Eurosport’s “it’s done” to Sky Sport’s “official” — points to a deal that is now closed.

As things stand, the operation is therefore to be considered complete: Sky Sport speaks of an official signing, so nothing remains to be settled on the negotiating side. The bottom line is already written — Cucurella is a new Real Madrid player — with the 60 million cited by Eurosport the only number to have circulated so far for Chelsea.
