Former Chelsea star and current Spanish national team starting left back Marc Cucurella already sounds beyond thrilled about joining Real Madrid, and despite his roots with two rivals in Barcelona and Getafe, the former Brighton man said straight up that you just don't turn down Real Madrid. His Barcelona rivals on the Spanish national team like Dani Olmo have not taken too kindly to Cucurella's new team, but Cucurella won't care one bit.
In fact, he is already bleeding Madridismo and currying favor with both the supporters and his new manager Jose Mourinho, who insisted to Florentino Perez that the 60 million euro left back was the one and only starting solution for his tactics and formation.
The next dream target for Mourinho appears to be Cucurella's old Chelsea teammate Enzo Fernandez, who is also a crucial player for a title winning national team in Argentina. There have been mixed rumors about who is the top dog on the list of midfield transfer targets for Mou and Madrid, but the most experienced and prolific option, Enzo, has unsurprisingly won out.
Marc Cucurella isn't even winking
And speaking to Radio MARCA, via Fabrizio Romano, Marc Cucurella is already going hard on the recruiting trail to push for Fernandez's signing at the Santiago Bernabeu - a signing Fernandez himself has been pushing publicly even more than Cucurella was.
Cucurella said of Enzo, “I hope Enzo Fernández joins Real Madrid too. I’d be so happy. The opportunity for us to both join Real Madrid in the same summer would be amazing”
The Spanish media likes to call it winking when a player posts something on social media or wears a jersey of a player they are recruiting, but this is no wink at the bar. Cucurella is full on courting Enzo, and Real Madrid fans have to absolutely love that he isn't even hiding it or pretending how badly he wants Enzo on the team.
Plus, it is no secret that Fernandez wants Real Madrid, he has been wanting Real Madrid, and, well, he only wants Real Madrid. Cucurella pushing for the transfer and adding more public pressure to kill Chelsea's leverage and their wild asking price of 150 million euros can only help Real Madrid get this blockbuster midfield deal over the line. Enzo is Real's replacement for Aurelien Tchouameni at the No. 6, and Cucurella can smell how Jose Mourinho wants him on the side, too.
