Former Chelsea left‑back Marc Cucurella has expressed shock over how quickly his transfer to Real Madrid was completed. Speaking to the media, Cucurella revealed that the entire move unfolded in less than two days.
This was Cucurella’s statement:
My Real Madrid signing happened so fast. Everything happened in 36–48 hours.
That’s how I prefer it, no headaches. I’m so happy now.
Softfootball can confirm this was indeed the case, as there were no rumours or early indications of Real Madrid’s interest. In fact, Cucurella had previously opened up about the possibility of returning to Barcelona, making the sudden announcement of his completed move to Madrid even more surprising.
