Real Madrid have reportedly added Marc Cucurella to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Chelsea defender is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Real Madrid have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Manchester City , Barcelona and Atletico are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. Real Madrid's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.92 goals per game (33 in 36). Marc Cucurella would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Chelsea are said to be exploring Bernardo Silva, Cristian Romero and Edmond Tapsoba with Real Madrid likewise connected to Trai Hume, Levi Colwill and Morten Hjulmand.
