Chelsea offered Marc Cucurella to Actual Madrid in a shock deal over the weekend, with Jose Mourinho’s new recruits formally saying the switch on Monday in a payment believed to be across the £50 million mark.
The Spanish worldwide’s departure is a significant loss for the Blues provided that he was one among their extra skilled and high quality gamers, though work is already underway to usher in a substitute sooner somewhat than later.

Xabi Alonso had insisted on Carreras’ signing at Actual Madrid final 12 months however with Alvaro Arbeloa not relying on him for the second half of 2025/26, and with competitors intensifying at left again on the Bernabeu, Carreras may think about his future.
Carreras a high quality signing for Chelsea
Alvaro Carreras is an outstanding, all-round left again. His clever positioning, interceptions and physicality make him a powerful defender, whereas with the ball at his ft, he’s able to linking up along with his teammates and drives possession greater up.
Actual Madrid spent near £50 million on his buy final summer season from Benfica however provided that they should offload some gamers to register a number of incoming signings, Carreras could be offered nearer to his Transfermarkt valuation of £45 million.
One of many the explanation why Alvaro Arbeloa and Madrid haven’t been pleased with him is his off-field conduct and physique language in coaching, however that’s not a problem Xabi Alonso is believed to have confronted with the Spaniard whereas he had a brief stint with the Whites.
Madrid have two different left backs other than Carreras and Marc Cucurella in Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia, so they’re unlikely to face within the former Benfica star’s approach if Chelsea make a compelling sufficient provide and he needs to depart for London this 12 months.
