With José Mourinho back at the helm of Real Madrid, the club is actively shaping its future squad. A significant development sees an agreement in principle reached for the transfer of Marc Cucurella, with the Chelsea player expected to finalize his move following the 2026 World Cup.

The new era at Real Madrid is rapidly taking shape. Following a season without major trophies, President Florentino Perez, recently re-elected to lead the club, is determined to orchestrate a substantial transformation. With the highly anticipated return of José Mourinho as head coach, the club’s leadership is now accelerating its efforts in the transfer market.

Key Signings Expected Post-World Cup

Sources close to the negotiations indicate that a preliminary agreement has been secured for Marc Cucurella’s transfer to Real Madrid. The left-back, a specific target for José Mourinho, is poised to depart Chelsea. His move is anticipated to be formally confirmed after the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, with the deal reportedly valued at approximately 50 million euros.

Beyond the acquisition of Marc Cucurella, Real Madrid has made significant strides in assembling its revamped team. Bernardo Silva, whose contract with Manchester City is set to expire, along with Ibrahima Konaté, also nearing the end of his Liverpool contract, are both expected to arrive in the Spanish capital after the World Cup. Additionally, Denzel Dumfries, the talented right-back for the Netherlands national team and Inter Milan, is also on the list of incoming players.
