Marc Cucurella, a 28-year-old left-back, is the Real Madrid's most exciting signing of the summer among the six according to Tomás Roncero. The club paid a fixed amount of 55 million euros to Chelsea, with up to 5 million in variables, and signed the Spanish international until June 30, 2032.

This evaluation comes at a time of doubts for José Mourinho's team. Real Madrid has 15 points after seven LaLiga games, six less than Barcelona, and has lost both away matches against Betis and Atlético Madrid.

Tomás Roncero ranks Marc Cucurella ahead of the other signings

Tomás Roncero explained on El Larguero that, if he had to measure the emotional impact of the six new acquisitions, Marc Cucurella would be ahead of Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konaté, Denzel Dumfries, Carlos Espí, and Yan Diomande. His assessment refers to the connection generated by the full-back, not a statistical comparison among the six players.

Real Madrid officially confirmed that these six players are the new additions for the 2026/27 season. Cucurella was announced by Real Madrid on June 15, before the World Cup, returning to LaLiga after four seasons at Chelsea and one at Brighton.

The price of the deal also indicates the investment made. The agreement with Chelsea was sealed for 55 million fixed, potentially rising to 60 million with variables. In return, Madrid secured the full-back for six seasons until 2032.

Marc Cucurella's performance at the beginning with Real Madrid

Marc Cucurella has played 8 official matches totaling 520 minutes. In LaLiga, he made 7 appearances, starting four times, with 430 minutes but no goals or assists.

His last test before the break was the derby against Atlético Madrid, ending in a 2-1 defeat. Cucurella had to defend against Giuliano Simeone, who drew a penalty and led to the expulsion of Dean Huijsen

The full-back himself admitted this week on Cadena SER that the team is still in an adaptation process. Cucurella mentioned that Vinicius, Mbappé, and Bellingham tend to attack quickly, requiring defenders to adjust movements for offensive support and coverage.

Cucurella continues to gain prominence

The collective balance still needs work for Mourinho. Real Madrid has conceded 8 goals in seven matches, with 5 wins and 2 losses. The defeats came against Betis (1-0) and Atlético Madrid (2-1).

The next challenge for Marc Cucurella will come after the international break. The full-back will return from his national team duties, and Mourinho will decide whether to maintain his starting position in the upcoming phase, with Real Madrid trailing six points behind the LaLiga leaders and still seeking a defensive structure to address the early defensive issues in the first seven games.
