"Joining Real Madrid is a dream for any player. I am proud and honoured to wear this shirt, and I cannot wait to get started with my new teammates," he said.

The transfer marks another statement signing from the Spanish giants, who continue to strengthen their squad with a blend of established stars and experienced internationals.

Having previously starred for Spain at major international tournaments, Cucurella now takes the next step in his career as he prepares to represent Real Madrid CF on the biggest stages.

With a contract running until 2032, Real Madrid have made a significant long-term investment in a player they believe can become a key figure in their defence for years to come. Fans will now eagerly await his official presentation and first appearance in the famous white shirt.
