LaLiga: Cucurella reveals details of phone call with Mourinho before Real Madrid move

New Real Madrid signing, Marc Cucurella, has said he had “no doubts” about signing for the Spanish giants, following his £52m move from Chelsea.

Cucurella revealed he had a phone call with new head coach Jose Mourinho before signing.

“When Madrid came I didn’t think about it, it’s a unique opportunity. Playing for Real Madrid is an honour and not many players can say it, so I had no doubts,” he told Spanish outlet El Mundo.

“He told me that he really wanted to work with me, that I was going to adapt very well, that Madrid was a great club. I am looking forward to working with him.”

Cucurella is one of three high-profile arrivals already confirmed to join the club this summer alongside Bernardo Silva and Ibrahima Konate, with Denzel Dumfries set to follow.
