Atletico Madrid indicated this week they did not wish to spend above €50m on Marc Cucurella. Chelsea were never prepared to engage below this number. Jose Mourinho drove the move to Real.⬇️ https://t.co/V0Ee0e98ER

More on Marc Cucurella's Chelsea exit. Understand Cucurella expressed a desire to return to Spain for personal and family reasons. Chelsea worked to find the best solution. €55m+€5m viewed as strong fee by the club. Jorrel Hato’s development last season was also a contributing factor in sanctioning the exit. Chelsea now want to add at least two starting-level players that can immediately compete in the Premier League.🔵

A year ago Marc Cucurella was helping #CFC win the Club World Cup and considered one of the key players in the dressing room. Now he’s left for Real Madrid. This is how and why the deal was done with @GuillermoRai_ & @polballus: https://t.co/aW28hYGVYK

Real Madrid moved fast to sign Marc Cucurella with Jose Mourinho pushing for the Chelsea left-back. Real aware Atletico Madrid had also opened talks and could themselves move quickly. Deal agreed in last 34 hours, with a June sale also suiting Chelsea. Cucurella had said publicly he was only focused on the World Cup, but formalisation of his move to Real Madrid will now happen in the next few days.🇪🇸

Atletico Madrid have Marc Cucurella high in their thinking, but want to pay under €50m. Left-back a key priority for Atleti. Chelsea sources point to the fact Cucurella has three years left on his contract, but the club aren't ruling out a sale.🇪🇸 https://t.co/6NaJAidIYK
