Chelsea have agreed a deal to sell Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid as Jose Mourinho completes a shocking raid on his former employers.
Fabrizio Romano reports that both clubs have reached a verbal agreement on a deal that’s expected to see Chelsea pocket a £51 million total package for the Spanish defender.
Madrid have agreed to pay around £46m, with a further £5m attached to performance-related bonuses, to bring the left-back back to his homeland.
Former Blues boss Mourinho was reportedly the driving force behind Madrid’s move for Cucurella.
Despite being on international duty with the Spanish national team at the World Cup, the 27-year-old Chelsea left-back has already agreed personal terms.
He is expected to complete his departure from Stamford Bridge after the World Cup.
Madrid moved quickly to seal Cucurella’s signature, with the Chelsea star also attracting interest from capital rivals Atletico Madrid .
The move will end Cucurella’s four-year spell at Chelsea, where he won the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Europa Conference League.
