Marc Cucurella is poised to join Real Madrid from Chelsea in a blockbuster £47.5m deal after an agreement was reached between the clubs.
The La Liga giants will pay an initial £43.15m (€55m) with a further £4.3m (€5m) coming in bonuses.
The move will represent a small loss after four years at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues paying £62m to Brighton back in 2022.
Real Madrid have installed Jose Mourinho as manager following Florentino Perez’s victory in the latest elections.
And Cucurella will provide strength at full-back for the former Chelsea and Man United boss.
Cucurella struggled initially at Chelsea before establishing himself as one of the best left-backs in the world.
The 27-year-old has since carved out a role with European champions Spain, with who he thrived at Euro 2024 to make the team of the tournament.
